People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.

Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.

If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously.

I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.

I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.

I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

I don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.

I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.

The word 'circumnavigate' is quite a beautiful word.

The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.

Humans punish themselves endlessly for not being what they believethey should be. They become very self-abusive, and they use other people to abuse themselves as well.

Shame is always easier to handle if you have someone to share it with.

Everything counts! Everything you do helps or hurts, adds up or takes away.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

They that know one another salute a farre off.

Television is for appearing on, not looking at.

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

I think that everything in this life is a story you know; our own narrative, our own history, it's all a story.
