Quote

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 would never say never to returning to comedy.

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.

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
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.

I usually befriend the camera department very early on in the film and drive them nuts. I'm constantly bombarding them with questions and going through the stills photography. A film set is a great place for me and I love it.

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 get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.

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.
Eric Bana
Image
If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?
Eric Bana
Image
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.
Eric Bana
Image
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.
Eric Bana
Image
The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.
Eric Bana
Image
The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.
Eric Bana
Image
I used to lift very heavy weights in my mid-twenties - I used to bench press over 300lb. The most I ever lifted was 330lb I couldn't do that today, no way.
Eric Bana
Image
There wasn't a moment where I got into cars. It wasn't a conscience decision or something that came later, it was there since I was born. I just love it.
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.

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

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.

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

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.
