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.

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
Image
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.
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.
Eric Bana
Image
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'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.

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.

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

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
Image
But it's healthy - whatever you can do to keep you fresh and awake. Acting's such a ridiculous job and sometimes you need to look at it like that to get a sort of degree of freshness.
Eric Bana
Image
The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.
Eric Bana
Image
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.
Eric Bana
Image
I never really think much about the size of a production because I think as an actor, once you're in it, it's all the same. I never ever pick projects based on their size.
Eric Bana
Image
I never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.
Eric Bana
Image
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
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
Image
I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.

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.

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

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