I'm Happy In A Silent World -

Well, English Is No Problem For Me Because I Am Actually English. My Whole Family Are English; I Was Brought Up Listening To Various Forms Of The English Accent. Obviously There Are More Specific Ones That Get A Little Bit Tricky. Same With American Stuff. But Because In Australia We're So Inundated With American Culture, Television, This That And The Other, Everyone In Australia Can Do An American Accent. It's Just Second Nature.

You Meet These People Who Are Confident All The Time. They Annoy Me. And I Wonder If It's Because I'm Envious Or If It's Because They're Shallow.

I Want To Bring Something Different To Every Film. I Get A Bit Tired Of Actors Who Kind Of Are The Same Character In Every Film That They Do.

Sometimes I'll Go For Something More Because Of The Story, Or More Because Of The Director. But, Generally, I Have To Feel Like It's Something That I Have A Real Sympathy For - A Person That I Can Completely Go, "oh, Wow, Oh, I'm There." Otherwise I Don't Feel Like I Will Be Able To Pull It Off At All. I Know I Haven't Done Everything Very Well In The Past; Some Things Have Worked And Some Things Haven't. But I Need To Feel Like I Can Feel About The Person, Understand That Person, I Suppose.

I Always Look At Films As Real Stories With Real People In Real Situations. That's Why I Struggle With The Whole Notion Of Calling Someone The 'good Guy' Or The 'bad Guy,' Because I Think We All Have Potential To Do Good Things And All Have The Potential To Do Bad Things.
