I think the film and TV industry - the acting world - has a tendency to attract a lot of people for the wrong reasons; reasons that are less than artistic. It has a tendency to be pretty superficial, and pretty shallow and fake. I think what New Zealanders and Australians - and the English, I guess - have to offer is that we don't carry a lot of that baggage. We come over and we're pretty grounded. But on the flip side of that, you end up in a very unfamiliar environment being treated in a way that's a little bit surreal.

Collaboration is the best way to work. It's only way to work, really.

Collaboration is the best way to work. It's the only way to work, really. Everyone's there because they have a set of skills to offer across the board.

When you can't fix all your problems with your fists and the problems aren't solely physical, and you've got to deal with the emotional complexities of life and people, it's a really interesting development.

Unfortunately part of pulp is that there is sex, there is violence. It's not a kids' show. It's an 18-and-over audience - like anything cable. I see some things in Game of Thrones that turn my hair gray. It's the way the industry has gone.
