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

Ultimately the most challenging thing, always, is to just be convincing

There's many more films being made in America than there are in Australia. You make four hundred and fifty films a year, we make twenty-five.

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.

I had to put the word out to people that I didn't cost a fortune, and I was prepared to work at home. Because that's the assumption: "Well, he lives in America now, we can't afford him, we won't bother."

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 don't believe in God, but the thing I do believe in is that we're all connected.
