Sometimes I'll go for something more because of the story, or more because of the director. But, generally, I have to feel like it's something that I have a real sympathy for - a person that I can completely go, "Oh, wow, oh, I'm there." Otherwise I don't feel like I will be able to pull it off at all. I know I haven't done everything very well in the past; some things have worked and some things haven't. But I need to feel like I can feel about the person, understand that person, I suppose.

I don't feel I'm making a conscious effort to go more commercial.

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

I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.

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 don't have many friends. Most of them are gay and I get on much better with women.

Having a partner who has nothing to do with Hollywood helps keep things in perspective.
