I grew up in Queensland, and my dad was a tradesman and my mum an insurance agent, both self-employed.

When I really get invested in something, the one thing that really disappoints me is when it breaks its own rules.

A character, their ability or inability to laugh at themselves should always be a very, very conscious choice. It's a very big key to the nature of a human being.

I seem to be incapable of playing that guy that always does the right thing, who always responds well in any circumstance.

Mind your own business.

Television is what we call the long form of storytelling, where we tell stories over thirteen, twenty-two, or twenty-four hours. Miniseries is an eight-hour form of storytelling, and film is a two-hour form. Each and every one of them are important to me, because they're a different modality of storytelling.

For my money, if I'm playing anything then it has to have some sharp angles on it. It's got to have some edges that you can cut yourself on, otherwise it's boring.
