Living in LA would be like unrolling my swag in the office. I just don't think it would be healthy, mate.
There's an ease that I have living in Australia. The best things about Sydney are free: the sunshine's free, and the harbour's free, and the beach is free.
What holds South Sydney back can be attributed to lack of funding, but it also is possibly attributed to too many cooks spoil the broth.
The people who don't have a good relationship with me from a good performance point of view are very few and far between.
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.
I work between 'action' and 'cut'. My life doesn't carry on after 'cut' in terms of my relationship with the characters.
Who on Earth had the ... audacity to take out the best actor's poem? ... I'll make sure you never work in Hollywood.
Jim had to go on the dole, but he didn't wear the pain on his sleeve. He accepted it and kept trying to do the best he could for his family. The Great Depression is a character, and I think the villain in this piece is poverty. If there's a single moment in Braddock's life that I think makes him important in history, it's the fact that he went to the Social Security Commission and repaid the money he'd taken when he was on the dole. That shows you more about his character than anything in his boxing career.

Well, it's a great privilege, mate, ... It sort of puts me in a category for the rest of my career that I'm very thankful for.
We got on the front page instead of Tommy Cruise, this is just my version of couch-dancing,
Once he goes to school things are really going to have to change at supposedly that point. 'Cause I don't think I'd like to do anything, you know, more than pick him up from the school gate every day.
I'm extremely sorry for this whole incident and I regret everything that took place,
I liked everything I read about Braddock, ... I liked who he was before he was a champion, who he was when he was a champion and who he was afterwards, too. I liked the fact that his otherwise very simple life had this incredible zeitgeist flair in the middle of it and afterwards he just kept working, bringing up his children and loving his wife. For me, it's the story of how one family survived the Depression. Braddock died in 1974 in the same house that he had bought in 1935 with his winnings from the world championship and where he had seen his kids grow up and his grandchildren born.
