I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.
I'm 'of the world'.
Across the board, Australian films need to have a lot more money spent on selling them.
It's great to blow the image that people have of me out of the water.
The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.
I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.
If a film isn't really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we're probably not that interested in it, actually.
I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.
I'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.
As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.
It's a real pleasure to go to work when you're in the most extraordinary surroundings, and working with people who are young and interested and creatively keen.
There's nothing like being on a massive-budget film where you don't know anything, and there's a million people, and no one's communicating.
I think when your image becomes so big that it's hard for a viewer to see a character, then I think you're in danger as an actor of being unable to perform what you should be doing.
I certainly don't advocate terrorism as a way of progressing and understanding people, nor do I believe labeling everything as a terrorist act is helpful either.
I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.
Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.
