I didn't know the Green Lantern comics at all. I was a Superman reader.

What I appreciated was the fact that the script delved into how Australians were - and still are - condescended to by the English.

I would always slip away to the cinema. I always found something absolutely extraordinary about the fact that these actors were always kind of kicking hard at some new dimension they were doing on film.

I was never a leading man. I've always been in the outer concentric circles in the company, being a character actor, which is a good place to be. It gives you that diversity.

When people come and tell me I was terrific in this or that, I do not want to fall flat on my face next time. But, tough, I have fallen flat before. You just get up and dust yourself off.

People are intrigued and fascinated, almost obsessed with the private lives of great public personalities.

Yes, anally retentive men are my forte!
