There's very little bohemia in Australia and it's one of the things I miss most about not living in Europe.

I always tell young actors to have a back-up. You don't want to find yourself at the age of 30 still struggling to make a living out of acting.

I've been as critically rubbished as acclaimed and the worst thing about that is that it usually plays into your own self-criticism.

A jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.
