The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We're not running the same race. It's like we're all doing different sports in fact.

Let's put a smile on that face!

You know, I'm not in a hurry, and everybody else in Hollywood - particularly agents and managers - they're all in a hurry.

Don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't deserve what you want.

There's nothing like working with your mates - it's the way it should be, as far as I'm concerned.

It's rare that there's a role that requires an Australian accent.

Does it depress you? To know just how alone you really are?
