I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.
Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you don’t deserve what you want...
You learn more about yourself through your child, I guess.
It’s a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat’s on, the heat’s on.
I’m in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.
I feel like I’ve never been in a film that people have liked before.
My nervous energy is usually the easiest form of energy to tap into.
My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.
I never really cared much for Hollywood or movies. But the curiosity for filmmaking, and expanding myself as an actor and my curiosity for people and portraying them, just has grown. And that’s from simply being involved in the industry. But it was never a goal of mine as a kid.
I’m sure drugs and alcohol perhaps would inspire new thoughts, but it’s certainly not something that I use as a tool or a mechanism to create.
The Australian sense of humor is very dry, sarcastic, and very undercover. Like if I tell any jokes in America, people just think I’m serious! So I just quit telling any jokes whatsoever.
The first memory I have, anyway, I guess – I think it was my second birthday and the cake came out with the candles and I was very excited and I was, like, “Oh! A cake!” and then my cousin blew out the candles. I was so disappointed. It just broke my heart. And so that’s stamped in my brain.
I think your personal evolution runs hand in hand with your professional evolution. Performance and the person you are kind of grow simultaneously.
I’ve never had high expectations of my work and I certainly am not going to let that plague my thoughts. I’m just going to continue to choose what feels right for me at the time and go with it.
I’m not a big fan of western movies and I really don’t like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them.
I’m born to be a father. And I’ve been looking forward to this all my life.
In the birthing process, you come out just realizing how stupid and weak men are! I mean, I might as well not have been in there, we’re useless!
I believe acting truly is harnessing the power of belief.
If having true love and love that is expressive and free outside of work affects a project where you have to be restrained and in denial and fixed and closed off. This doesn’t mean you go out and just destroy your love outside of your life and kind of mirror your movie.
Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married, or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks you if you are happy.
I don’t have many friends, I just know a lot of people.
