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

Money is tighter now, with the advertising dollar spread a lot more thinly across a whole range of media because of the Internet. It means the television networks have less power to produce shows, and TV is where most Australian actors make their money.

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.

I love playing bad guys; they're always much more fun than the good guy.

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'm a person who doesn't necessarily enjoy feeling vulnerable, so I think my loved ones and my family make me feel vulnerable. Also, being connected with people when I'm working is a very vulnerable place to be.
