I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.

I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what's going on around you.
Eric Bana
Image
I never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.
Eric Bana
Image
When I go on the plane to fly home, I'm literally capable of forgetting what I do for a job. That also comes about because I choose to take massive breaks between projects, and because I choose to do this ridiculous thing of keeping home, 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.

Image
I'll give you a list of a hundred ways that I'm more likely to be injured than belting around a race track with people who know what they're doing. It's not a place where I feel I'm in unnecessary danger.

I was a fan of the television show as a kid but I wouldn't say that I've followed all the movies or anything like that. But I was a television junkie as a kid.

The notion of people commenting on you, the notion of people saying things about you, people liking or disliking you and getting into your business, has become more of a reality for the general public over the last years, as people have dipped further into Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and social media.

I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.

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

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.

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.
Eric Bana
Image
I would never say never to returning to comedy.
Eric Bana
Image
When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.
Eric Bana
Image
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.
Eric Bana
Image
I'd say I'm the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it amusing always appealed to me.
Eric Bana

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 used to lift very heavy weights in my mid-twenties - I used to bench press over 300lb. The most I ever lifted was 330lb I couldn't do that today, no way.

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

I occasionally go to the gym and I lift free weights, I don't use machines.

My chosen exercise is cycling. I just love it.
