Usually the way I think someone is radicalized is through a personal experience. The thing about environmental activism is that we are all having a personal experience with our environment, whether we open our eyes or not.
I think one of the things that might distinguish me is when I'm going to work as an actor I really try not to worry about my own personal hang-ups and just really concentrate on the work. Because I have such a respect for acting, which is something I feel like I'm constantly learning how to do, that all of my energy is always focused on the acting itself.
I mean I don't think it got me interested in acting. I think it might be what makes it so that I can have the idea of the variety of people in the world, different incomes. That helps. When you're going to play someone it's interesting and nice to see experiences that aren't like yours. But there's always the remarkable similarity of all people.
I always think change is important in a character. The most dynamic choices that you can make for a character are always the best ones.

Everyone has their own opinion about what this country is doing. Personally, I wish we hadn't gone to Iraq.
When I finished filming and I flew back home to Australia, I really did not want to take that 14-hour flight.
I get so happy to see someone like Jodie descend into absurdity and be human.
He just talked about religion in a way that I could hear. It's one thing to have your parents tell you about faith, but to hear it from someone who isn't apparently emotionally vested in you is special.
I've always looked at the world as a place where people have done evil things. There are people in the world, for instance, that would describe Americans as evil.
