Between The Lines"Hair is everything" with Madeleine GottliebThis week I spoke with Madeleine Gottlieb — an award-winning director, producer, screenwriter, and one of my oldest friends.I met Mads when I was five. She was the smartest person I’d ever met, with the bluest eyes and the most commanding presence.We were a couple of drama kids. And listening back to this conversation on a walk this week, I realised, we still are.We talk about morning rituals, meditation, ADHD, therapy, why Mads’ word for 2025 scares her, and how cutting off all her hair at a roadside barber in Hobart turned...2025-05-011h 20

Between The LinesGoing AnalogueWhen Matteo and I spent two months in Puglia at the end of last year, living in a sleepy seaside town, we had a weekend ritual: a long walk by the sea, swimming and reading at Lo Scalo, spaghetti vongole and a spritz, a gelato along the promenade, and a movie on the couch.Off our phones, away from the rest of the world, we could switch off. It was incredible.I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately—less about Puglia, more about the presence we were able to cultivate there. Il dolce far...2025-04-1024 min

Between The LinesBrave like Bob DylanThere’s a scene in A Complete Unknown I can’t stop thinking about.Bob Dylan steps on stage at the Newport Folk Festival in ’65. Thousands and thousands of people chant his name. They came to hear the songs they know. To see the Dylan they know.But Dylan has moved on.He picks up his electric guitar and plays his new music. The crowd boos. They throw things. Festival organisers try to cut the sound.It’s uncomfortable to watch. I caught myself thinking, Just give them what they want.But...2025-04-0222 min

Between The LinesAnxiety and the Artist's DateMy earliest memories are anxious ones. Clinging to my mum’s legs as a child. Hiding under a laundry basket when people popped in. Waking up at 5 AM, putting on my school uniform, and sitting there for three hours—because I was terrified of being late. For most of my life, anxiety was my default state. And then last year, driving from Milan to Umbria, Matteo and I were listening to a podcast about anxiety when he paused it and asked—How is your anxiety?To my surprise, I said, Good. I hadn’t...2025-03-1422 min

Between The Lines'The Rickoning' with Grace O’NeillNot long ago, I sat down with Grace O’Neill in her Kitchen in London, and we recorded a chat. Grace is a writer. The former editor of Elle Australia. The co-host of After Work Drinks. And one of the most important people in my life.We met during lockdown—Grace and Zach in Apartment B, Matteo and I in Apartment D. The pandemic turned us, and our neighbour Lena (Apartment C), from strangers into family.Grace and I have spent hours walking through Holland Park, talking about the messy reality of being an artist—fantas...2025-03-0651 min

Between The LinesCatching ideas with David LynchFor as long as I can remember, I’ve woken up early. I used to resist it.

Between The LinesStop planning, start the podcastA few weeks ago, I took my brother for breakfast and traded coffee and eggs for advice. I told him everything—my podcast vision, the name, the look and feel. I talked for 40 minutes. And then I asked him for a strategy.Then he looked at me and said:"You love the planning. The mood boarding, the strategy, the world-building. But while you’re doing all that, you’re not making the podcast. Stop planning. Start the podcast."Annoying, because he was right.I thought I was moving forward, but really, I was...2025-02-0715 min

Between The LinesSome places you live in, other places live in youI love January, but I found this one hard. Not because of No Plans Jan—that gets easier every year. But because it’s been a period of transition. Matteo and I are back in Sydney. We’re staying in Sydney. And that still feels difficult to say out loud, even though it feels true.This month, I’ve been thinking a lot about place. The place you live, and how you live within it. How to make space for what matters. How to find flow. How to cultivate resonance (my new favourite word). And how to practice...2025-01-3119 min

Between The LinesA crazy, chaotic, beautiful yearThis week, Matteo and I sat down to reflect on 2024. It was a year that began with an eviction from our Notting Hill flat and ended by the seaside in Puglia, Italy. In between, there was a whirlwind of change — a “move” to Milan, a retreat to the forests of Sweden, and an unexpected chapter living in the green heart of Umbria. Along the way, we wrote a book that we’re so proud of.It was a year of unknowns and constant pivots. And yet, it’s been one of the most transformative and beautiful y...2024-12-2023 min

Between The LinesTrusting the artist withinAt the beginning of last year, I was in a creative rut. I knew I wanted to evolve my art but had no idea where to begin. I was terrified I’d never create anything worthwhile again and felt paralysed by indecision.In this episode, I share how ‘play’ (my One Word for 2023) taught me to trust myself, and reconnect with the joy of expression, creativity, and life.JYK 🤍2024-12-1311 min

Between The LinesWhy do you do it?For years, I was living on autopilot, completely unaware of how disconnected I had become.One simple question changed everything and fundamentally changed the course of my career and life. It led me to quit my job, rediscover painting, and set me on a path toward meaning rather than validation.This episode is just six minutes long, but the truth is, it took me days!JYK 🤍2024-11-2206 min

Between The LinesAffirmations for every dayThe concept of journalling was always confusing to me; it felt elusive, awkward, and just another thing to do. So I resisted it for years. But the noise in my head kept getting louder. Matteo kept nudging me to try ‘positive affirmations’, and then my sister sent me a podcast that gave me the final push I needed.Now, it’s something I do every single day. Not because I “should,” but because it’s a simple, quick practice that enriches my life in so many ways. It’s helped my confidence, self-esteem, and sense of peace.Like all...2024-11-0712 min
