Well we were teenagers and I think very different people. My earliest memory of her is saying ‘hey’ at Bondi Beach Club on the night we were celebrating our Leaving Cert results, now that’s a blast from the past. We had mutual friends but nothing really went beyond ‘hey’. Cut to us doing a year together at the Conservatory of Music and Drama, and this was the start of our 14 year old friendship. We ain’t old, we wise.
