I'm not big on Champagne, but I'd take along a bottle of Cristal to pop for when the boat comes to the rescue.

Nobody knows who Barry Crump is, anywhere, but in New Zealand he's huge. I am of that age, where I sort of grew up with Barry Crump books. Look, if you read the book, you realize it is actually not a funny book at all.

I understand acting and I understand actors. I don't really understand the world of celebrity. That's just bizarre. Those sorts of elements I'm at sea with.

I like actors. I like their insecurities, their humor and their intelligence.

No intelligent man wears a moustache voluntarily - you can write that down.

I enjoy some physical stuff. But if I had a choice between playing a scene where it's raining, it's terribly cold, I'm wet and I'm being drowned and playing a scene with dinosaur eggs in a laboratory, I'd probably take the latter. It's warmer and generally more comfortable!

I like being around actors. Imagine not liking actors.
