I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
No, it's very comforting actually, to know that you're sitting in a long legacy of actresses who've played the role. I'm absolutely all for absorbing all of those influences, so you understand the pedigree of the part as much as you understand the figure in history... because you are playing the part. You don't say: "Gosh, I want to play Peter Sellers..." because you can sort of do that in your own bathroom.

I think if you're going to wear a red lip, you don't want it wearing you, so it's about finding the right colour.
