Martin Sheen is my pinup! And Allison Janney, oh my God. They're brilliant actors.

I like to sing along to Annie Lennox and pretend to be as sassy as her.

I must confess that I'm not a great reader. At the moment I'm reading my son's 'Stig of the Dump' by Clive King and I've got a plant catalogue on the go.

Awards are always a pleasant surprise. They are the candy-floss parts of our job - a lovely added extra to attract people's attention. The bottom line is that you want to sell tickets.

People say there's a book in everyone but I'm not sure there is. There might be a pamphlet in me.

I'm not a natural reader but there are books I'll read and read again.

I haven't played Hedda Gabler yet, but maybe if I did I might find the funny bits.

I am an opera virgin; I'd far prefer to see a musical such as 'Guys and Dolls.

I took my children to see 'Son of Rambow,' about two boys who make a home movie with a video camera. When you have children, culturally you become involved in their life.

It's hard to get motivated fixing a compile-time syntax error when you can buy a powder that turns a house into a monster.

If I could make one wish, I wouldn't ask for world peace. I'd wish for a real zombie apocalypse. I'll take Romero zombies any day over this counterfeit harmony bullshit.

I live by the sea in Australia and the weather of course is glorious all year round.

People don't seem to be able to pigeonhole me yet, which is great.

Once you start painting, you could of course get lost. I mean you get out of yourself, you don't know whether you're thinking, you just act actually sometimes.

Unpredictability is closely related to uncontrollability.

You walk out in the street, we don't know if we're going to get across. It's a test.

I want to be honest with you: The players I played with and the coaches I had...they were directly responsible for my being here. I want you all to remember that. I always will.

It is sheer madness to live in want in order to be wealthy when you die.

Great investments don't just knock on the door and say "buy me".
