Ben Mendelsohn

I did 'Quigley Down Under,' which is quite deliberately placed in Australia, which is a Tom Selleck, Alan Rickman, Laura San Giacomo film from '88, I want to say.

As an outsider in America, you do see the kind of hypocrisy that's rampant there.

In Australia, even the darkest subject matter has a little pinch of humor. A little sweet to make the sour go down.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
