I'm a bit of a romantic.

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

I knew a bit but we don't study a lot of British history at school in Australia. We have our own 50-year period to concentrate on.

I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.

Each time you go to the same track you know whether you're improving or whether you're not... it's not open to interpretation. It's measurable - unlike acting.

I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible.

As an actor I've been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.
