I just love jumping into someone else's life. It is a relatively cheap way to experience things you would be too scared to contemplate in your own life.
My focus never wavered; I never accepted the film was not going to be finished.
Method acting is a label I don't really understand, because there's a method to everybody's acting.
It's nice to be asked to do good projects.
It's difficult to get films made, especially films about poets.
It quite often happens that they attach a name to a project and it doesn't get all the financing it needs.
In terms of jumping into a character's skin, I try to immerse myself in the role as much as possible to bring me closer to them. All I do is what's required to achieve what I want to achieve.
I'm doing a Dylan Thomas film, Map of Love, with Mick Jagger producing again. It's a wonderful script.
People go to see a film because it's a great story and it's visually exciting to watch.
I tend to do golf charity things because it's much safer and you don't get much chance of a broken arm or leg.
I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.
I don't like acting things; I like feeling things.
I try and do films I know I'm going to enjoy watching as well as being in.
Fairfax was incredibly important to the shaping of the country.
Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.
