Leah Purcell's quotes

  • On Wentworth: More importantly it was women. Women held the story lines, and it was just so groundbreaking to see the strength physically and to see the emotional journey that we carried
  • When we did the big fight with Drago it was 12 hours. I said I wanted to do my own stunts. One take I turned around and said 'you wanna go again?' I was tired, sore, and I just wanted to take the bitch out. And I did.
  • [on joining Wentworth]; I'm very honoured and privileged to be a part of the family. It's amazing to be on the teal tidal wave.
  • Rita only wanted to put the wind up Drago, but because of the circumstances - being inside and knowing who Marie is - she knew that if she didn't finish her she still had a lot of power. So Rita did the job and silenced her.
  • Yeah, look, it was a massive day - we did 12 hours, just shooting one scene all day. I spent five hours on the fight choreography. It was very physical. But it's the emotional stuff that takes it out of you more so.
  • I do have a lot of people showing me scripts and asking me to consider projects and that is really nice.
