hits kick papers sell talking wanting
I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
challenges actors want
I'm not scared of doing movies that are just about entertainment. I'm not scared of doing movies that are really challenging and cover difficult terrain. I just want good experiences and I want to challenge myself and I want to just keep learning, as an actor.
people want
Basically you want as many people as possible to see your movie.

I have always stuck to my guns about what I want from the work and what interests me. I've never been seduced down the evil path. The path of taking the money.

In Australia, there aren't a lot of people committed to art, so these communities form that are dedicated to music, theater, cinema, but they're very small. So, they tend to move ahead on the power of collaboration, enthusiasm and creativity.

The best jujitsu practitioners are really serene and grounded.

The Australians are actually the worst of the criminals from the United Kingdom, but not worst as in toughest. They're the ones who did stupid little things and got caught for it. Bad criminals.

audience early emotions funny great hughes john learned lesson trains
I learned a great lesson early on, even before I was really an actor, from that movie 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' that John Hughes made: that you could make a movie that's really, really, really, really funny, and sometimes you can still achieve... making the audience feel very deep emotions as well.
learned life scripts writer
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
handed large life love occurs portion
I love what I do, but it occurs to me I may have handed over a large portion of my life to fiction.
skeptical
I'm pretty skeptical about Hollywood and its fascination with the sequel and the franchise.
I never imagined myself in a movie with magic.
