I would kill to do more work with Orla Brady, I think she's that gifted.

I was a theater man, so I was never in the situation of being a handsome Hollywood leading man, and then having to age.

We shouldn't be put out to pasture just because we've reached somebody's idea of retirement, which was certainly happening in Australia, and I think elsewhere as well.

Doing animation is great fun. It's like a different world.

I remember when I read Walter, for example, six years ago now, I said, "This is the role for me." I said that to my family. There was something there that I knew was absolutely right, and that was just based on the character. That's when gut instinct comes into play. I know there are certain things I won't do.

Walter is incredibly complex. I do a lot of thinking about the work I do, and try to get the rhythms of scenes.

I suppose, when you start up in acting, you hope to be given challenges, and you always have dreams about the things you could do and couldn't do, but normally we get pigeon-holed a little bit, as we go on in our careers.
