It irritates me so much the way people talk about soaps because it is far more difficult working on a soap than it is on a big studio film.
People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points. That's how people steal effectively.
I have to keep explaining to people that screen kissing isn't quite the same; it's close, but it isn't quite the same as a normal, real-life kiss.
People ask me, 'How do you remember your lines?' That's nothing. That is the least of my concerns.
People don't really know about 'Neighbours' in America, and if they have heard of it, it's only in the context of 'Oh, sure, that's what Guy Pearce was on', or Kylie Minogue.
People ask me all the time what it is about Australia that produces so many big stars. Honestly, I believe it is a combination of things. Our education standards are quite high, but our industry is very limited. Yet we're very aware of the industry - everyone goes to the theater, sees TV shows.
Something I realized when I moved to America: people get these general American accents, but when they get angry or upset or excited, their original accents come out. It's something I noticed with my manager, because he's from New York, and the first time he got angry, he suddenly had this accent.
Once people see you pulling off one role, they think you're a safe bet to do a similar role.
I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I'm staying at a friend's house or something. I'm very old school.
I kind of feel like every time I do a film, it is me and an entire male ensemble cast.
I learned a lot about pain and suffering during 'Pan Am.' We had to wear very constricting period-correct girdles and bras. After that, I learned to read a script with an eye toward the undergarments.
I really want to do a Western. I want to be the dude who is riding horses and doing exciting things - something where I get to do something physical and have to train for it. I don't want to be the damsel.
I now know how to steal a watch when someone's wearing it. It's an excellent talent to have.
Technology still freaks me out a bit.
