Most of the time when I'm in Australia I'm not really working, it seems. I'm just at home, getting on with renovating my house or writing music or whatever. So I get back to doing all the stuff that I naturally do. Whereas if I'm away working, that's all there is to do, is to concentrate on the work.

I don't want to make a habit of just playing small roles, because I really enjoy the process of being part of a film and staying on it for the length of time that everybody else is as well.

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

You can have a great time on a film and the chemistry can seem great but then you look at the finished film and it just doesn't quite gel, something doesn't quite work.

I don't enjoy movies in 3D. I find I can't engage with the story as well.

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.
