My wife and I really, really like each other as well as love each other.
The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.
It's always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.
We live our lives by the water and if you don't know how to swim in Australia, it's like not knowing how to cross a road. It's an incredible survival thing that you really must learn when you're a child.
I'm always reading and looking around for the next thing.
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'
I guess I'm a very keen observer, and I'd like to think I have a good imagination.
I guess on a base level that's one of the first parental instincts that you have with children in Australia is learn to swim. Not only learn to swim but learn to swim strong.
I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.
I didn't study Greek mythology in school and I wish I had.
I deliberately fly in and out of LA for as small a time as humanly possible.
The notion of people commenting on you, the notion of people saying things about you, people liking or disliking you and getting into your business, has become more of a reality for the general public over the last years, as people have dipped further into Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and social media.
I always find that 90% of the performance, for me, is about what comes from inside.
As an actor I've been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.
A girl's got to be fun. It's the one bit of advice I always give to friends of mine who are thinking of getting married.
At the beggining of my career, for me the comedy circuit was a combination of desperation and the fact that it was something I could do. I sort of meandered and really had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I had a go at stand-up, and I was sort of okay at it. 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. So I'd say it was probably more about that than anything.
When I was a kid, I would do stupid things on my bike. I'd jump any ramp, I'd jump over people, I'd jump over things - always crashing, never hurting myself badly but always wanting to take physical risks.
I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn't do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you're done, don't make your hobby your job.
My chosen exercise is cycling. I just love it.
I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.
I never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.
I really enjoy working on small films.
I think love can come fairly easily and grow - but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you're in pretty good shape.
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.
I guess subconsciously that all the great people you work with have an influence on you.
