I've done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max. I enjoy everything. After one particular experience of work, I like to go in the opposite direction and do a short film, or something else.

I really like being thrown into the works. Many actors, I have found, have this as a common trait. We had to, as children, adapt to various situations with either a military family or things like that.

I'm very analytical about the industry and I understand that there are value systems, and all sorts of things like that.

I live in L.A. and I do have wonderful friends; I moved there when I was 19 so I developed a close knit group of friends, none of whom are actors, none of which are Australian, but I couldn't do it long term.

I'm a big fan of Tom Stoppard's work, and have been since I was in school where I studied him.

Although my father is English, I was brought up in Australia.
