I'm not preaching about things you should do, I'm not political or anything. I'm probably not the best role model.

This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.
In 'A Few Best Men,' I play a lesbian character. I played the lesbian sister of the bride who ends up kissing a dude at the end, but she was, like, a full-on lesbian in that. And I beat out famous Australian lesbians for the role.

I do have comfort, because as an actor you don't want that anxiety of wondering if you're going to continue with a certain role or if you're going to be employed the next year.

As an actor, I know it is my job to shape myself for a role - any role.
