I had a place in England and was commuting from England to Australia, which is pretty stupid, but after two years I sort of knew what I wanted to do, more or less.

When I did Taming of the Shrew, I was very tired, and I decided to have a holiday and make a documentary.

I got through my teen years by being a bit of a clown.

I didn't know what to do with myself. I wasn't excited by the teaching of the school. If they'd been intent on really teaching you things, I would have been a little more attentive.

Very quickly, without really looking back or trying, I was just suddenly lifted into another sphere.

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.
