I think the film gives you a picture of a person. It gives you a complete picture.

The fantasy gives you the courage to feel things.

It's very difficult to lie to yourself about certain things. I'm not necessarily convinced about how information is gathered and I don't think the credence that's given to it is valid.

It's obviously a lot more of a political undertaking making a movie in Hollywood and it's a business there. In Australia, they don't expect films to make money; whereas in America they're counting on it.

It always surprises me in films that killers seem so gleeful about killing people.
