I'm in fact Australian but my mother's English so I've got no problem playing a domineering English woman.

I'm crazy about the Coen brothers, I'm crazy about Sean Penn. I love the usual suspects like Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep and people like that.
twilight years australia
Even in Australia I'd say 80 percent of our television was American. I grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. I used to sit with my mum when I was just nine years old, trying to guess what the twist would be. I love that kind of thing.

I'm always shy when I meet people I admire so I wouldn't be able to say anything rather than, 'How do you do? Love you! Bye!'

I'd love to be a voice in 'Toy Story 4.'

I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain.

I guess just a lively imagination is the best effort an actor can have.
thinking choices mind
I think early on it's important to put that at the back of your mind and make your own choices. Sometimes you do pick the same choices, just as a matter of course - not because someone else did it first, but because it was the best choice to make. But any actor worth his salt makes something their own.

I don't play many characters like myself. Oh I don't know what I am!
