The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.

Growing up, I was a kid pretending to be an adult.

Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.

I always think the really unfortunate thing about the Australian film industry is its lack of momentum. And I don't mean this in a derogatory way. I'm always wanting it to pick up momentum, and I'm wondering if that's even possible.

I really enjoy doing things that are more subtle and close to home - and literally close to home.

I think a lot of actors take on fun roles and then they're lazy or flippant with them. I just can't do that.

A lot of action characters are a little bit too serious as well. They take themselves a bit too seriously, which I don't find particularly interesting, whereas I like the fact that there was at least some humor in this because really it's a piece of entertainment.
