I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.
I've given no thought to moving to America at all.
Abs are for people with no friends.
I think quite often, being on the new set is not what you expect. The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious. I don't think there are any hard-and-fast rules. I just think it really depends on your director and what the general vibe is.
You have to be proactive about your destiny and then realize that the other half of it is completely out of your control. I think it's fascinating.
The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.
I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.
The thing I love about working with first-time directors is that it's always quite shocking how little difference there is between them and directors who've been directing all their lives.
I love being at home, being with friends and family. I'm of European stock, brought up in Australia. I'm a passionate guy. I just love life.
I've always been a bit of a car freak.
I'm always one time zone behind myself.
But it's healthy - whatever you can do to keep you fresh and awake. Acting's such a ridiculous job and sometimes you need to look at it like that to get a sort of degree of freshness.
There wasn't a moment where I got into cars. It wasn't a conscience decision or something that came later, it was there since I was born. I just love it.
Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.
I'd say I'm the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it amusing always appealed to me.
It's always hard but the reality is, especially in my case, that every time I go to work I have to do it so it's become part of the job. It's an extra challenge but it's also quite often another extra tool that you have to really think consciously about getting into the character. So while it does require more work, it's maybe even an advantage to a degree because it forces you to switch, to consciously have to jump into and out of the character.
I'm very much a bit of a ghost presence.
I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.
I think I wasted a lot of my youth, falling for girls who were a couple of years older than me.
I'm realistic about it. It's been quite some years since I've worked full-time in that area, so I no longer have any material that bears any relevance to my life or the audience. I'd need to take probably a year off, which I wouldn't be prepared to do, so it's a romantic ideal.
I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what's going on around you.
I've always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films.
I've always been someone that sets achievable short-term goals. I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible. So I've just always been someone that's sort of reassessed where I'm at, and set goals that are realistic. And luckily, I've had plenty of chances to recalibrate and adjust, and good fortune's come my way.
It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.
Over my lifetime, the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.
