Every time you say yes to a film there's a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc.

English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent.

Australia's not so bad with me, really, people are pretty cool with me at home, but in England it feels a little bit scary.

I think when people are repressing things, or burying things, that can manifest in all sorts of ways.

I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever...I get into a character. The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.

I can be completely indulgent and spend as many hours and days or weeks as I like on one thing. Writing music and sitting in my studio, just pottering with ideas, it's a lot more personal and creative for me, I don't feel restricted.

If you look at the films that I've done generally, you would probably get an idea of what I'm most interested in, and if ever I do something unusual like a science fiction film or an action film or a comedy or something, then that to me feels like a step to the side to do something different.

I feel I do my best work when it's all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I'm not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don't entirely trust what I'm doing.

You do feel kind of nervous about any film you take on.

I don't enjoy movies in 3D. I find I can't engage with the story as well.

Image
You can have a great time on a film and the chemistry can seem great but then you look at the finished film and it just doesn't quite gel, something doesn't quite work.
Guy Pearce
Image
I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.

I really enjoy a variety of different work, and what I've just done may sometimes determine what I choose to do next.

There's many more films being made in America than there are in Australia. You make four hundred and fifty films a year, we make twenty-five.

There's a sense of humor within the Australian culture that prevails when one is in a rather difficult situation.

You never really know what the director has got in his mind as far as the scene visually and art direction wise.

I am geared towards communicating on a female level.

Most of the time when I'm in Australia I'm not really working, it seems. I'm just at home, getting on with renovating my house or writing music or whatever. So I get back to doing all the stuff that I naturally do. Whereas if I'm away working, that's all there is to do, is to concentrate on the work.

I do like a variety of things so I'm always interested in finding something that I haven't done before.
