If I'm exhausted, physically and particularly emotionally, I can't tell what's good and I can't tell what's bad and I'm useless.

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.

I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.

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.

Just because there are things I don't remember, doesn't mean my actions are meaningless. The whole world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?

I feel I do my best work when it's all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I'm not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don't entirely trust what I'm doing.

Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.
