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.

Making a movie with Lindsay Lohan is not for the faint of heart.

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.

Looking back is a form of insanity, given that I could really never understand what everybody else was thinking. I find these days that I'm much more efficient when I just focus on what I need to do in order to move my family forward and get the focus off me.

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

Strangely enough, I find myself more centered in chaos than in calm, and again I'm not sure whether that's a strength or says something weird about me, but I love a crisis. I'm normally very, very organized in the middle of chaos, and then when I have nothing to focus on, extremely disorganized, and I tend to waste a lot of time.

I love working in New Zealand. It's just the most beautiful country I've ever been to.
