My taste is very eclectic. I love musicals, but I also love the classics. I've seen some fantastic productions. I was in a musical for 600 performances in Australia that I first saw in New York.

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

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

Everything the Coen brothers do is brilliant.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.

The eyes are the windows of your soul, and when you're acting, they're one of your most important instruments. Especially for close-ups!

I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain.
