The first film I directed (Explicit Ills), I did when I was like 27 years old. I had been an actor for a certain amount of time, and then I was like, "I want to start directing."

I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing.

A lot of filmmaking is all about filtering out the bullshit.

I don't really know what I'm ever looking for, it's kind of like whatever happens to resonate at the time with me.

Be in the moment as an actor and as a human being, and you're going to be happy.

It's really interesting for me as a filmmaker to go back and look at the films I've made and see where I was at that point in my life and also where my ideals were and the beliefs that I had and look at the ways I've grown and evolved and apply that to the next thing.

You know, when my dad was a racing fan in Australia he would follow Jack Brabham and sometimes only hear if he won two days after a race - when the result finally appeared in his newspaper. These days I can tweet something and it's all over the world in seconds.
