A lot of people have a fear of Shakespeare. Even actors do. People are like, "Oh, I won't go and see Shakespeare because the language is so hard," but it is. When you read it on the page, you go, "What?! What does that mean?!" If you go to a Shakespeare play and you've never been, you sit there and go, "I'm an idiot! I don't get it!"

There's nothing like being on a massive-budget film where you don't know anything, and there's a million people, and no one's communicating.

I don't think I'll ever escape the fact that I don't belong anywhere in particular. I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.

As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.

One of the positive aspects from my point of view in terms of lifestyle doing film is that I can say "Well, I'm now going to have three months where I'm just going to hang out and be with the family".

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

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