Carla: I’d like to do big feature films, I wouldn’t mind doing what Nicole Kidman is doing. But I’m planning to take the slow road if that’s what it takes. But I will get there eventually. What will be will be but it will be big! (edit) Carla: (On Neighbours) Because I know everybody so well, it’s my home away from home, I spend so much time there. (edit) Carla: (On pantomime's) Australians can't even fathom what pantomime is all about! It's so much larger than life and it's very magical. I guess when I think of home it's like we're quite boring when it comes to that sort of thing! (edit)
