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.

The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.

When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.

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.

We live our lives by the water and if you don't know how to swim in Australia, it's like not knowing how to cross a road. It's an incredible survival thing that you really must learn when you're a child.

There wasn't a moment where I got into cars. It wasn't a conscience decision or something that came later, it was there since I was born. I just love it.

I think love can come fairly easily and grow - but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you're in pretty good shape.
