The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.
Eric Bana

I like the unknown. I like mystery.

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.
Eric Bana
Image
As an actor I've been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.
Eric Bana

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.
Eric Bana

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

There wasn't a moment where I got into cars. It wasn't a conscience decision or something that came later, it was there since I was born. I just love it.
Eric Bana

Eric Bana
Image
It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.
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
The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.
Eric Bana
Image
I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.
Eric Bana
Image
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.
Eric Bana
Image
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'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
Image
I enjoy just being cocooned in production and it's completely different to your other life that you have. I enjoy that. I enjoy being on the set and hanging out and talking to whoever we're working with and just being in the moment.
Eric Bana

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

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.
