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.

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

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

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
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.

I like the unknown. I like mystery.

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 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.

Image
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.

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

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
Image
It's always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.
Eric Bana
Image
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
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.

The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.

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.

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.

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

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.

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'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.
