| Interview with Tori Spence (Salene) |
| Why did you decide to get into acting? Because I always enjoying performing for my family so we used to put on plays and things. Then my dad put me into an acting agency and I started doing commercials, short films and I always acted in schools plays and stuff. How old were you? I was about 6 when I got my first acting job in a short film. If you could do anything in the world what would you do? Wow! I would probably go to Italy and (I know it sounds corny) but go to a beautiful beach and ride horses. |
|
| What are the properties of a good actor? Someone who is really charismatic and can do any kind of scene from hysterical to stark raving mad. What is it like to play Salene? Challenging, because she is quite different from me. She`s interesting and I`ve had to research her problems, like with bulimia, which I didn`t know very much about. What has been your hardest scene to film on the Tribe? Hmmm. The vomiting stuff or in Series 2 when I throw myself at Bray. What is it like playing the mother figure woman? It`s trying, but we have heaps of fun. |
 |
| Do you think you are anything like Salene? Yeah, like the way she approaches problems. She thinks about them before shooting her mouth off and gives sound advice to others. What has it been like kissing Bray, Lex and Ryan? Fab! (laugh). No, but seriously we`re all really good friends and have heaps of fun on set and filming the scenes. Hey, at least none of them have bad breath. What is your favorite episode so far? It`s still the paint fight from Series 1. It rocked. We just had so much fun and what a mess man! |

 |
| Do you have any input into the scripts or scenes? Our dialogue is written for us but we can talk to the director about anything we don`t think fits the character. We hear you are a singer as well as an actor, is this true? Yeah, I love singing and always have. What kind of music do you like to listen to? I like Placebo, Fat Boy Slim, chemical Brothers, and teeny bop stuff like Five, Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguleria. |
 |
| Do you ever get recognized? Yep, in the funniest places. Like one time I was coming out of a shopping mall bathroom and a couple of little girls came up to me and asked me for my autograph! What are you doing while you aren`t filming? Lots of school work. I`m in the fifth form this year (O Levels), heaps of exams. Relaxing with friends, going out and shopping, you know the usual stuff you do. When is your birthday? My Birthday is 30th April. |
 |
| What is the weirdest piece of fanmail you`ve received? I have really nice fans I don`t get weird mail, just cool stuff. Do you have any pets? I have a little Jack Russell dog called Abbey and a kitten called India and about 5 or 6 goldfish. What`s your favorite animal? Horses. They are so beautiful and powerful. |
