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.

My chosen exercise is cycling. I just love it.

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

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

There's a plethora of wonderful documentaries. I made a point of not looking at anyone else's portrayal of Henry because I think it would have been too confusing - so I've got a lot of films to look forward to.

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

Without a doubt, rowing is the hardest thing you can attempt to learn in a short period of time.

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

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.

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
If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?
Eric Bana
Image
The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.
Eric Bana
Image
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'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
I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.
Eric Bana
Image
I like the unknown. I like mystery.
Eric Bana
Image
I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.
Eric Bana
Image
Each time you go to the same track you know whether you're improving or whether you're not... it's not open to interpretation. It's measurable - unlike acting.

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.
