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.

There's a sense of humor within the Australian culture that prevails when one is in a rather difficult situation.

I think when people are repressing things, or burying things, that can manifest in all sorts of ways.

I'm never there enough to really keep up with what's going on in the Australian film industry. I just try and be part of it as much as I can.

Australia's not so bad with me, really, people are pretty cool with me at home, but in England it feels a little bit scary.

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.
