I've got a New Zealand film coming out here called Out of the Blue. It's a very heavy story, and it's the first time I've played a character who is alive.

That is a big danger, losing your inspiration. When I work in film and television I try to do each take a little differently. I never want to do the same thing twice, because then you're not being spontaneous, you're just recreating something.

One of the crazy things about our job is that we get taught these insane skills that we could never use in real life.

I've always wanted to do a Western.

When you pick up a script and you can't stop reading it because it's a real page-turner, that's a good sign.

I would think, as an actor, it's just much more fun to be the bad guy.

I did a little theatre work after that and the following year I got another part in a television series. Then it was almost to the end of the year before I got more work. That was coming to terms with the reality of the vocation I had chosen.
