Megan: I've always being really interested in looking after myself, not just because I'm a model but because that's just the way I am as a person, like I don't diet and exercise because I have to, I look after my diet and I look after myself physically because that's just the way I am and I'm a beach girl and, you know, grew up in Australia and also being a model, just looking for products that are not going to make your skin break out and sort of combining all that into one.
Megan: I think there's a lot of opportunity in Australia. I think Italians, when they travel, they like to feel - not at home like they do in Italy but they like to feel like they're going to get looked after, they like to feel - they want a host that's not going to be rude to them, that are going to help them out. Australians are very much like that, they're a nationality that everyone really wants as a friend. One comment that I've heard a lot, they say they're really surprised how often Australians say hello to each other in the street and that when you walk around they look happy and they look happy to be going to work and happy to be going down the beach and happy to be doing all these things.
Megan: (on her popularity in Italy) The first time I came here I was already famous. I remember coming into Rome Airport and just having people following me and saying my name and I just came over here on a promo tour. The commercials that I did were such a success.
Megan: (on time flashing past.) It does! You’re like, ‘Where did my 20s go?!’ It’s funny, isn’t it? You feel old in one sense but, to me, I’ve loved turning 30. It forces you to go, ‘Hang on - where am I going with this?’ You’re not mucking around anymore. This is serious!
Megan: I‘m never anywhere for long because I can‘t sit still! I‘ve lived a pretty frantic pace in the past few years. My 20s have flashed before my eyes because I‘ve devoted the time mainly to work. So I want to devote my 30s ti myself a bit more!
Megan: (on ‘What A Year’) We talk about things like technology. For example, we look at the year when mobile phones were released. We now refer to those old mobile phones as “bricks”, but for a lot of people - especially someone who is, say, 15 - they probably wouldn’t have ever seen one.
