As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.

In a real fight, there ain't no time and you've got to use your wits. If someone were threatening the life of my child, then I'd be a good fighter. If somebody just wanted to steal my wallet, well, maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.

I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.

If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.

I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.

I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.
