I always use the analogy that when you go to a jeans store and put on a new pair of jeans, it's a pair of jeans and they feel different; so, when you're dealing with these sort of costumes it's a very big departure and really does make you feel quite different. But it's wonderful.

I don't consciously seek out Australian projects. I put them on the same table as all the other scripts and I wouldn't ever do a film just because it's been shot at home.

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.

If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?

Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand; it doesn't mean you do it.

I just think that's the job of an actor. I guess that's the variation that you're talking about. It's probably a byproduct of just constantly looking for something different, because that's what I feel like I'm supposed to do.

I'm a bit of a romantic.
