I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.
I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.
The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We're not running the same race. It's like we're all doing different sports in fact.
I'm very comfortable with horses. I love horses and I have grown up around farm-hands. There's something very universal about anyone who's on horseback night and day. When you get off that horse, you are still walking as if there's still a horse between your legs.
I'm just not one of those naturally funny, relaxed actors who enjoy the spotlight and are so good at it.
I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up, it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.
In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.
When I first started acting, I was just crap.
I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.
The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they're dancing and singing. As long as you're having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they're gonna feel that.
I apologize for my terrible interview skills.
I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am.
It's rare that there's a role that requires an Australian accent.
Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I’m an agent of chaos , and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.
