Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I'm not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that's out there.

I get bored with the same old film coming out every weekend. It feels like it's the same story all the time, and the same visuals, and the characters' dilemmas are remarkably similar.

I've had my heart broken, and it's not fun. But I'd rather have my heart broken than break someone else's heart.

Life isn't what it's like in the movies.

I spent my entire first pay cheque from Cracker, a TV show on ABC, on an Audi because my other car broke down and I needed to get to work.

There are some films that really break the mold, and some films that don't. I've been looking for films that break the mold a bit.

We made 16 episodes of Cracker and I loved doing the show, but unfortunately no one was watching us.
