Quote

When I was a kid, I would do stupid things on my bike. I'd jump any ramp, I'd jump over people, I'd jump over things - always crashing, never hurting myself badly but always wanting to take physical risks.

I think if you had to map that out at the beginning and you said, Right, sit down, this is what you're going to be doing, you'd probably freak out. But I'm someone who really enjoys not being himself. So if you consider that, then it all sort of makes sense.

It's always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.

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.

It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.

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.

I don't consciously seek out Australian projects. I put them on the same table as all the other scripts and I wouldn't ever do a film just because it's been shot at home.

The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.

I just think that's the job of an actor. I guess that's the variation that you're talking about. It's probably a byproduct of just constantly looking for something different, because that's what I feel like I'm supposed to do.

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.

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

The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.

If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?

I do believe in reading signs if they're really obvious to you. Things happen. Someone will say something to you today in the morning and then later on that day someone will mention the same thing and then the next day someone will mention it again. There's a reason why three people have said something within twenty four hours.

I usually befriend the camera department very early on in the film and drive them nuts. I'm constantly bombarding them with questions and going through the stills photography. A film set is a great place for me and I love it.

The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.

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.

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.
