I've always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films.

I love being at home, being with friends and family. I'm of European stock, brought up in Australia. I'm a passionate guy. I just love life.
Eric Bana

The only thing that may make me different from other people is I have passionate interests outside of work.

I've had frustrated storytelling juices that have been lying dormant for a long time, and I guess the documentary was a way of me telling a story that I felt most qualified to tell. And I loved it, and I'd love to do something else someday, probably more narrative-based. But I'm in no rush.

If you're lucky enough to be involved in a film that's about something very real and that you hope will continue to hold up in 20 years' time it just gives you more energy and makes it feel all the more worthwhile.

The thing I love about working with first-time directors is that it's always quite shocking how little difference there is between them and directors who've been directing all their lives.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

I'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.

My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling.

I think love can come fairly easily and grow - but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you're in pretty good shape.

I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.
Eric Bana
Image
I don't like to come at my character from some really technical place.

I knew a bit but we don't study a lot of British history at school in Australia. We have our own 50-year period to concentrate on.

Image
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.

It really depends on the director. I think quite often, it's not what you expect. The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious. I don't think there are any hard-and-fast rules. I just think it really depends on your director and what the general vibe is.

I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn't do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you're done, don't make your hobby your job.

I'm always reading and looking around for the next thing.

I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.

When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.

Definitely the script because you want to be part of an interesting story, you want your character to be a challenge, then comes the director. But essentially it's the script first and whether it's a character that you think you can do.

If a great comedy landed on my doorstep, I would find it hard to say no.
