I grew up with a love of words.
It's such a magnificent thing to be able to love someone and expect nothing from them.
I wanted to be an actor, but only because I wanted to be everything, and that was the only way I could be a marine biologist as well.
I always knew I wanted to go to NIDA. I think I was very fortunate, and I do doubt myself often, but I didn't see any possibility of me not going to NIDA. I believed in myself, and I believed that, if you really do want something, you get it.
'The Custodian' was my first film, and there were so many lessons to learn in that week. It was really fun, but for me, I look at it as a training film, and I'm not really proud of my work in it.
I do like having a private life.
I think my morals are perfectly... tight!
Goals are essentially private things.
I want to carry a really great role in a great film.
There are some jobs that you go for because achieving them would take your career in a direction that you would like it to go, but mostly, I want to play the roles and have had the great good fortune and opportunities to play some fantastic roles and been very, very fortunate.
It's nice being married to somebody who thinks you've got something better in you.
I've sung before, first in a band in high school and then in a band in Norway, but never in a musical.
Film directors don't come to the theatre in Sydney. In London and New York, they do.
I think you've got to understand your character and where they're coming from.
Even if the Tonys aren't as glitzy as the Oscars, being a part of the ceremony is no less exciting.
I'm just a very fortunate actor who has not been typecast.
I think it's an actor's gift to be as old as people think you are.
I've really had a great career. It's been part fortune and part my own choices that steered my own career into playing the great roles that I've played on stage in Australia and at the National and West End in London and on Broadway.
