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.

More quotes by Eric Bana
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
Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.
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.
Eric Bana
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.
Eric Bana
I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.
Eric Bana
I like the unknown. I like mystery.
Eric Bana
I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible.
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.
Eric Bana
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
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.
Eric Bana
If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?
Eric Bana
It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.
Eric Bana
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
I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.
Eric Bana
I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.
Eric Bana
I'm always reading and looking around for the next thing.
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 occasionally go to the gym and I lift free weights, I don't use machines.
Eric Bana
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.
Eric Bana
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
