My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.

Australians are coffee snobs. An influx of Italian immigrants after World War II ensured that - we probably had the word 'cappuccino' about 20 years before America. Cafe culture is really big for Aussies. We like to work hard, but we take our leisure time seriously.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

Acting is something I love. It's a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don't think it's any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me.

And I think that, of course, there is some dysfunction of needing to be liked or noticed or to feel part of things, something going on there for most actors. For some there's not and I think they really struggle with it.

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.

It's tough to watch a movie you're in - you put everything into it, you want everything to work, and you never know until you see it all together.

I hate being frightened of things. I'm not someone who can say: Oh, I'm scared of flying, I won't fly. Fear seems to creep over every part of your life so if there's something I identify as frightening to me I want to tackle it.

The last 10 years I have had to bulk up for roles and I'm naturally skinny, so I have eaten and killed so many chickens! I wouldn't even want to count. I need to balance that out.

Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk. I sleep a lot, eat a lot, and rest a lot.

I meditated before I hosted the Oscars, I meditate before I go on stage, I meditate in the morning and lunchtime when I'm on a film set.
