Rachel Gordon

Rachel Gordon: Be kind to yourself and others and do what makes you happy. As Joseph Campbell says..."Follow your bliss."

Rachel Gordon: (her character Jazz on Home And Away) I like playing her. She is a real character...not all good...not all bad. The grey areas are the best part of a character, I think.

Rachel Gordon: I am very interested in directing and producing. Perhaps this is something that may develop over the next couple of years.

Rachel Gordon: I am constantly embarrassing myself on set. I am very clumsy and often find myself laughing hysterically for no reason.

Rachel Gordon: I had such a good time there. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. (about her time on Home And Away)

Rachel Gordon: I had such a good time there. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my life. (about her time on Home And Away)

Rachel Gordon: I loved playing Amy Fox. The best thing about doing a role on a long running tv series is that you get to explore the complexities of the character in many different situations.

Rachel Gordon: I thoroughly enjoyed my time working on Blue Heelers. I formed such close relationships with my co workers and learnt a lot about the craft of acting for camera.

Rachel Gordon: Each show has its own life and there's a different energy to Neighbours and Home And Away

Rachel Gordon: Jazz is another fun character and one that I'm enjoying. (about her character on Home And Away

Rachel Gordon: I feel so lucky. I'm just grateful to work on such popular shows. (about her roles on Neighbours and Home And Away)

Rachel Gordon: (on playing a baddie on Neighbours) After working on Heelers for two years, playing a cop who was always on the morally right side of things, it was great to play someone who had much more of a chequered past… People have quite enjoyed Charlotte. People like seeing someone getting up to mischief. You need an unsettling influence to keep them on their toes.

Rachel Gordon: (on one day returning to Neighbours) I would be more than open to that kind of thing. Who knows what the future holds?

Rachel Gordon: (about her character on Neighbours) Charlotte acts very innocent. She tries to play the damsel in distress and she does that very well.

Rachel Gordon: I've just always wanted to work on good stuff and I'd love that to be here in Australia, but I'm not cutting off the possibility of going overseas.

Rachel: (on what she's been up to since finishing "Blue Heelers") It's been about a year and I've been doing lots of stuff - lots of travelling. It's been beautiful spending time with my husband because we got married in the middle of filming Blue Heelers, so I didn't get a chance to see him much then. I also did a few guest spots on TV travel show Queensland Weekender, and some theatre.

Rachel Gordon: All I ever wanted was a house with a white picket fence, a veranda and a garden and I've got all that now, so I couldn't be happier.

Rachel Gordon: Acting is a great profession if you're studying psychology. Your work is all about people and their motivation, which is exactly what psychology deals with.

Rachel Gordon: Sometimes in life you run into people in your travels who you are meant to walk the planet with and my Scott is one of them.

Rachel Gordon: It was all very exciting. We worked together for about four weeks. But we couldn't stop laughing when I had to get serious with him. (about working with her husband Scott on Blue Heelers.)

Rachel Gordon: It's a privilege to be working as an actor in this country. I'm incredibly grateful.

Rachel Gordon: I'm very lucky - he's an undeserved gift with a voice like an angel. I just love being in his audience. (on her husband Scott Johnson).

Rachel Gordon: As an actor, when you're involved in such heavy emotional pieces, you try not to take your work home.

Rachel: Now I'm on the wrong side of the law - it's great fun! (about her role on Neighbours)

Rachel Gordon: I really like strong and intelligent women and as you get older, you naturally become far more interesting.

Rachel Gordon: I think I suit being a woman more than a girl.

Rachel Gordon: I've always felt older than I am but finally, I feel I'm growing into my right age, which is really nice. I embrace getting older.

Rachel Gordon: It's far more interesting to play someone who has a few battle scars than someone who is beautiful and carefree.

Rachel Gordon: If I don't feel it, how will I act it?

Rachel Gordon: As an actor I need to continually search for my own truth and, in the process, inhabit every emotion in the spectrum.

Rachel Gordon: At least I don't have to pay for therapy, I just go to Mt Thomas!
