It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

It seems like people increasingly just can't be by themselves because they're so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn't mean anything.

I'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.

Maybe this is my morality coming in again but it was important to me that the actor [ in Notes On A Scandal] was above the age of consent. Although really, what's the difference between 15 and 16? It's the law, yeah, but he's very mature.

People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.

I've reprised roles in the theatre, which is somehow more accepted, and where one can automatically go deeper and further into the role.

Film just chews up actors like nobody's business, and I'm not particularly interested in being chewed up. I think the camera can only look at somebody's face for so long. I guess you have to accept the roles you think are right at the time. You can build a career, but these days there doesn't seem to be that much interest in people being actors.
