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.

If it's a great role or a great film, then you're happy to be a part of it.

If something doesn't come out of your mouth right, you've got to acknowledge the fact that you're trying to deliver an honest performance. If it doesn't' come out of your mouth correctly, then it's not going to work.

I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever...I get into a character. The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.

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

I can be completely indulgent and spend as many hours and days or weeks as I like on one thing. Writing music and sitting in my studio, just pottering with ideas, it's a lot more personal and creative for me, I don't feel restricted.

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