I'm a big goofball, you know. Don't tell anyone that, but I'm a big goofball. In Australia we call it a dag.

Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much, like you don't go on as many outings.

I love New York ... I think it's the best city in the world. As far as cities go, everything's there. I think it's so vibrant. I love the people, I think they're honest, in your face. If they don't like you, they'll say, 'Get out of my way,' if they like you they'll slap you on the back and support you. It's a very intoxicating environment to be in.

I've dreamt of being in a movie musical for a long time. For some reason I never even thought 'Les Mis' would be possible.

Now I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street.

I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.

By nature I'm not a brooder.
