I booked a horror film called 'Where the Devil Hides.' It's... you know, a horror film. But it was the first full-length movie I'd ever done, and it got me my visa, and I could start work.

That contagion idea is so relevant and shows how quickly civilization could self-destruct.

I think of how much I've learned from doing television, and it is so invaluable.

If one sibling does something, the other will fill the opposite role. I found, at least for my brother and I in real life, that seems to be a thing.

My mom's a children's television writer, so I was involved and around from a very young age. When I was eight, I did my first film with Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown, who are a quite well-respected Australian producer-director duo, and that just changed my whole perspective on what I could do in life and be.

Playing normal is hard - especially playing normal that's not you.

In L.A., it's not on the surface. Everything is in the cracks. The restaurant out front will look like this old, boring place, and you'll go inside, and it's this lush, beautifully designed restaurant.

Once electricity and petrol and facilities and food stop, society stops. It's crazy.

Siblings are often very opposite.

That doomsday idea is in everybody's subconscious.

At one point, I was thinking about going to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, but then I realized it's actually not what I wanted to do.

'The 100' has such ferociously passionate fans.

My whole philosophy has been to let the work speak for itself, because that's really what you want to show.

'The Walking Dead' do such a great job with that world. It is real, but it's also otherworldly; it's strangely theatrical, and I suddenly did become quite invested in the whole zombie phenomenon.

I would love to do something with space. I'm obsessed with it. I just can't stop reading about it or watching videos about it or listening to TED Talks about it.

The moment the world falls apart, you start forgetting history and wrongdoings in the past.

It's funny, I often think about how, if we were all placed in an apocalyptic situation, you'd realize quickly how stupid, petty things just don't matter anymore. Who you love is who you love, and it doesn't matter.

I must say, I always - from experience, when I watch TV shows and I see characters leave without a proper explanation or leave with not enough time, I get irritated. I like it when there's a clean-cut reason or a defining moment where they have to go. Whether that's death or not, I think that's subjective.
Alycia Debnam-Carey -
I started to let go and seeing that there are no rules.
Alycia Debnam-Carey -
It's funny because TV wasn't something that I wanted to do. I wanted to do movies. I'd said a lot of no's to a lot of shows previously because I couldn't fathom being on a show for such a long time and only doing one thing.

Having no expectations is a really good thing.

I didn't do the 'Home And Away' thing.
Alycia Debnam-Carey -
'The 100' gave me this platform I never expected. I didn't expect the character to become anything. I was originally only signed up to do six episodes, and then it just sort of become this whole story and journey, which was an amazing character, a great journey, so that has been incredible, and I didn't expect anything out of it.

Watch 'Fear the Walking Dead,' because we'd love your support, but I think 'The 100' is such a great show; it was a great show before I got there. It's only getting better, and I'm so lucky I got to be a part of it.
