I went to England in the '70s, and I was in my early 20s. There was still a residue of that era of being an underclass or colonial. I assume it must have been a more aggressive and prominent attitude 40 years before that, because Australia internationally wasn't regarded as having much cultural value. We were a country full of sheep and convicts.

I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen life.

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

Yes, anally retentive men are my forte!

You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I'm a traitor to my country because I don't have a sporting bone in my body.

They were saying, 'Keep this under your hat, but Jack Sparrow's going to die in the second movie.' I went, 'You're kidding me. The fans are going to go berserk.'

I always felt thrilled and amazed that I could put actor on my tax form.
