giving charity stuff
I really enjoy doing charity, for a good cause, it’s like the least I can do, I really enjoy that stuff. I enjoy giving back.
fire stories stuff
I do have a stunt double because there are certain things that they won't let me do. Like they won't set fire to me. They won't like let me jump off a 20 story building. There are certain big stunts that it's just impossible to get insurance to let me do, but for the most part I'd say I do probably 75% of my stuff.
beautiful blood erotic
I am a big fan of vampires. I've always been obsessed with the genre, and the beautiful romanticism and erotic kind of nature of the immortal being, the undead who lives on human blood.
writing not-good-enough levels
I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet.
fog sound geese
My trumpeting sounds like a goose farting in the fog.
thinking talent enjoy
I do not think I'm a great talent. I think I'm a medium talent, but I think I understand the business and enjoy the business.
villain
I like playing the villain.
teacher father school
I'm the son of an everyman. My father is a teacher. He teaches physics at a boys' school in Sydney.
nice people
It's nice having your work recognized but having people follow you around is kinda weird.
america mecca world
The mecca of filmmaking in the world just so happens to be in America. It's quite simply a case of us just going where the work is.
drama school thinking
I was sort of trained in drama. I went to theater school. I started on the stage. Comedy is absolutely an essential part of what we do as actors. But I think in the grand scheme of things, comedy was born from tragedy. First there was tragedy and then there were the comedies.
rolling way cameras
I've always loved, as an Aussie, comedy is part of my life. My friends and I are always ribbing each other and that's how we get through the days. When it comes to cameras rolling and getting that timing right, the only way to do it and do it well is to throw yourself into it.
pool knows
I don't know what I'm really good at. I'm really good at sittin' by the pool. I have to work at that. I'm really bad at auditioning.
beautiful hair play
Mum’s a musician. She plays piano and has a beautiful voice, so she understands the creative need. Mum lights up when she sees me. Her cheeks go pink – she’s all over me, pulling my hair, pinching my cheeks.
