I think we're all capable of bad things but luckily most of us are able to curb ourselves.

You learn stuff from every character you play about the human condition that can be quite enlightening.

I've had lots of good career advice over the years. I've learned that you must always arrive knowing your lines, you must hit your marks, you must be punctual and cheerful and kind. I'm always irritated with young people who misbehave and young actors who are temperamental. I don't think there's any need for it.

I'm always shy when I meet people I admire so I wouldn't be able to say anything rather than, 'How do you do? Love you! Bye!'

Even in Australia I'd say 80 percent of our television was American. I grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. I used to sit with my mum when I was just nine years old, trying to guess what the twist would be. I love that kind of thing.

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.

It's one of the functions of the theater to shock and titillate and appall, apart from entertain and delight.
