“We had to, as children, adapt to various situations with either a military family or things like that.”

I moved there when I was 19 so I developed a close knit group of friends

I like to go in the opposite direction and do a short film, or something else.

I’m a big fan of Tom Stoppard’s work, and have been since I was in school where I studied him.

None of whom are actors, none of which are Australian, but I couldn’t do it long term.

I’ve done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max.

Brute force rises up to the rescue of discomfited error, and crushes truth and right into the dust.

Most of them never really listen to music.

Wale means to arrive home. So the crown has arrived home.

I thought there was a chance right from the beginning.

Remembering the Mystery is a way of being everything you always already are.

Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
