I think I'm a bit of a dreamer. I don't like the reality of life to impinge much on my life.

As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.

When you're battling against the minds of the studios and the money that can go into promoting larger budget films, it's very hard for a very small-budget Australian film to get a look in. You can get critically acclaimed and go to various film festivals around the world, but that doesn't necessarily mean the majority of people are going to hear about it.

We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely

If a film isn't really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we're probably not that interested in it, actually.

I'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.

I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.
