children real fighting
In a real fight, there ain't no time and you've got to use your wits. If someone were threatening the life of my child, then I'd be a good fighter. If somebody just wanted to steal my wallet, well, maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.
film lows stills
I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.
talking psychology who-we-are
If a film isn't really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we're probably not that interested in it, actually.
space jumping challenges
I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.
long driving scared
I didn't get my licence because I wasn't allowed to. But I haven't had a seizure for a long time so I could, theoretically, get my licence. But I'm now just so used to not driving, I'm scared of what I'd do.
stage great-things audience
The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.
blow water people
It's great to blow the image that people have of me out of the water.
weaving littles kind
It's kind of chased away a few demons for me and, um, it's educated me a little bit more.
espresso two feelings
I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.
scripts appeals ifs
If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.
strong kids identity
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.
kids parent west
Both my parents are English and I was born in West Africa, and I moved around as a kid, lived in Bristol, lived in Buckinghamshire and Surrey as a kid, and then moved when I was 16.
country dreamed hideous romantic
I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.
call dressing freely fully imaginary initially kid total
Initially I probably didn't even call it acting, but dressing up or something. As a kid I think you fully imagine the world in which you want to inhabit, so you put some clothes on and just kind of freely imagine this world, and it's a total imaginary world.
