I know that Philadelphians hate New York actors passing off New York accents as Philadelphian when they are quite different.

Sexism is alive and well! We were saying this forty years ago. I'm an optimist, so I like to think we've progressed in some ways - in Australia, we get equal pay.

I haven't really had a major role in film for about 12 years. But I never stopped working in the theater. I do stuff back to back.

I think that's why we're always so fascinated with criminal stories because there but for the grace of God it could be us.

In Australia, I grew up watching 'The Mickey Mouse Club,' my son grew up watching 'Sesame Street,' my grandson's growing up watching 'Dora The Explorer.' So we are sort of saturated with American culture from the day we're born, and to those of those who do have an ear for it, it's second nature.

The libel laws in Australia are a lot tougher than they are in America.

I don't play many characters like myself. Oh I don't know what I am!
