I enjoy making money and I enjoy the work [acting]. I'm really into it and it's really fun. As long as it goes for, I'm happy to keep going with it. It's a good ride so far, and I hope the wheels stay on.

I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.

I think it’s because there's quite a few of us now but because we’re less frequent than American actors - because Hollywood is the place to be for actors - and there's just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there's less of them. I guess that's just how it is. Like if you pick a pink jellybean out of a jar of green ones it’d be amazing, but if you pick a green one, no one will care.

I wasn't really geeky. In terms of the high school hierarchy, I was very much in the middle ground. You have the really popular guys, you have the nerdy guys, and then you have the people who really don't care - and that was me. I wasn't really picked on or anything like that.

The Australian accent is sort of like going down a step in smartness, you could say, because you guys pronounce things as they're spelled. We add and abbreviate stuff.

I go out with a lot of British people. Some of them say I sound a little tipsy.

I want to be able to have a conversation with people. I don't want to be stupid. I'd like to have a life outside acting.
