If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.

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.

There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.

It's part of my job. You can't play Veronica Guerin sounding like this. It just wouldn't wash. But what I find fascinating about doing an accent - unless it's a farce - is that it's not slapped on.

I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly.
