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.

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

I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.

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.

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

Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand it doesn't mean you do it.
Eric Bana

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.

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
Image
I think if you had to map that out at the beginning and you said, Right, sit down, this is what you're going to be doing, you'd probably freak out. But I'm someone who really enjoys not being himself. So if you consider that, then it all sort of makes sense.

My chosen exercise is cycling. I just love it.

I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.
Eric Bana
Image
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 never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.
Eric Bana
Image
I would never say never to returning to comedy.

A girl's got to be fun. It's the one bit of advice I always give to friends of mine who are thinking of getting married.

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.
