Growing up, you tended to just go through school to get out, then figure out what you want to do in this big ball of mud.
A lot of these people were getting to where they didn't need help anymore. You have to start all over again.
You help families focus on the future through their children.
Most actors go, 'I read the script and fell in love with it'; I fall in love with the directors.
Well, I think the world changes around you - I think you don't change. That's as simple as that.
I love my job; I love the world that it is. But I don't want someone who is just in love with that world. I want to be with someone who is in love with me, warts and all.
In the movies, they make you look good and tough, but in real life, it's completely the opposite. I do these ueber roles, I think, because in real life I'm quite shy and reserved. In real life, I'm a dork.
Actors get to go to these amazing worlds. In 'Terminator,' I was a cyborg with feelings; in 'Avatar,' I lived for 15 months on a fantastical planet, and in 'Clash of the Titans,' I get to fight a scorpion the size of a dump truck. It's a bizarre job, but you explore yourself.
Clothes have memories, and sometimes you don't want to remember. People remember where they bought the clothes, who gave them, or where they stole them from.
I'm Australian! How much more alpha can you get?
I like to play board games a lot with my girl, things like that. We attempt to cook. And even if it goes wrong, it doesn't matter because it's the time you spend doing it that's important.
When you're in trouble, all you need is your bank card and passport, and you're fine.
To film in water is three times harder than just on land.
The acting came about because of a girl. I was 19 and met a girl who wanted to go to the premiere drama school in Australia, the National Institute of Dramatic Arts, where Mel Gibson, Cate Blanchett and many others went. She had an audition, and I went with her for moral support - to cheer her on. I did an audition my way, and it kept going.
