I usually befriend the camera department very early on in the film and drive them nuts. I'm constantly bombarding them with questions and going through the stills photography. A film set is a great place for me and I love it.

I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.

I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

I like the unknown. I like mystery.

It's usually very, very hard for me to pick up a script that was written and try and see myself as a part of that, especially when you're used to performing all your own material. It's OK with drama, I like being handed great material but I think with comedy it's far more personal and probably a lot harder for me to find a fit.

I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.

The darker the film, the more vital everyone's sense of humor is on set.
