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 think that the way of bringing realism into fantasy is to treat it as the commonplace.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

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

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.

The process of acting, not necessarily the business of acting, but the actual doing of it in the moment is my greatest kind of personal passion, the thing that brings me alive the most. Also, my two children.

I pretty much always choose characters. That's what I do. That's what I look for. I look for dynamics in a script and potential.
