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.

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.

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.

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

I really enjoy working on small films.
Eric Bana

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 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
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.

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.

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

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 think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.
