I know the Mad Hatter has a long history in the 'Batman' canon. He's quite a historically rich character, and he's come in a lot of shapes and forms and interpretations.
I'm not on any social media. I'm a bit analog when it comes to the Internet and technology.
A helpful thing for me has always been - this is from a great acting teacher Declan Donnellan - is this beautiful way of expressing how and why people do things that other people may not do. It's a simple sentence that says, 'I understand you; you don't understand me.'
You don't know when things are going to happen, so I don't think you should be waiting around for them, so I'm interested in making stuff and being in that stuff - that's what my focus is.
I really admire Mark Ruffalo and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Vincent Gallo, for example, who writes and directs and acts in his own films.
What motivates me is not staying still. I want to be busy, and I think too many good actors are left by the wayside through no fault of their own, but because there aren't necessarily enough opportunities out there.
I want to write more and direct more, but only so I can keep practising my craft and be involved in the projects that really interest me.
On the street, people think I'm a guitar-carrying band member with a rock-n'-roll lifestyle, but the closest I have ever got to being one is probably lip-synching.
Good films that get made are so few and far between. I want to write and direct more, but only so I can keep a fresh perspective.
I actually built my own dining table back home in Australia. It's a secret hobby of mine that I weirdly find transfixing.
Xavier has been the ultimate role model. No matter how far away we are geographically, working together is something we feed off of.
When you have quick scenes, it becomes difficult to ascertain where your character fits and where they're going. I always enjoy scenes that have a movement to them.
'The Walking Dead' producers are really in touch, and appreciative, of their viewers.
I've picked up so much about the technical aspects of filmmaking and television.
I don't really create things externally; I'm not that kind of actor.
The Mad Hatter has probably the most beautiful hat I've ever seen. It's gorgeous. The costumes that this guy wears are fabulous.
There's a really great feeling among the Australians in Hollywood. There's so many of us, and we all support each other, and it's a really nice feeling, being able to sit back and see so many people doing so well.
