Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk. I sleep a lot, eat a lot, and rest a lot.

I hate being frightened of things. I'm not someone who can say: "Oh, I'm scared of flying, I won't fly." Fear seems to creep over every part of your life so if there's something I identify as frightening to me I want to tackle it.

Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year. My parents, and immigrants like them, were known as '£10 poms.' Back then, the Australian government was trying to get educated British people and Canadians - to be honest, educated white people - to come and live in Australia.

My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.

I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!

It's tough to watch a movie you're in - you put everything into it, you want everything to work, and you never know until you see it all together.

I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.
