Quotes by Tammin Sursok
I grew up listening to most of my parents' music like The Beatles and ABBA and all that stuff.
Music I can discover a part of myself that I haven’t been able to for a long time, and acting is the opposite. I’m in love with both of them and I would never choose one over the other.
In Australia, there is a very famous show called ‘Home and Away.’ I was cast on that at 15. The day I started filming, my life changed.
If I ever had to be on an amusement park ride, I probably wouldn’t get on one; I’m not a very adventurous person!
My debut single "Pointless Relationship" is about a girl's view of where the relationship is going with her partner and it sounds like a negative term. But the song is more of an empowering song from a woman's perspective! It's the life of them together and it's just never going to go where it should go, and so she's saying to him this is a pointless relationship.
The music I love listening to is more of the Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Dido, Jewel, Nora Jones, Joss Stone, a bit more of that organic live-instrumentation feel.
In Australia, there is a very famous show called 'Home and Away.' I was cast on that at 15. The day I started filming, my life changed.
I grew up listening to most of my parents' music like The Beatles and ABBA and all that stuff. But for me what I get influenced by more than the actual artist is lyrics, and I listen to music and influences that has more of a narrative feel and more of a story behind it.
