certainly definitely incredible learnt move time
I got a lot out of 'Brothers & Sisters' and learnt some incredible things and I think it certainly had come to a natural ending, so it was definitely time to move on.
absolutely formative incredibly time
I absolutely loved my time at 'Brothers & Sisters,' what I learned and everything that went with it. It was an incredibly formative time for me.
dark order actors
I'm certainly not one of those actors who remain in a dark place the entire time in order to be doing the scene. I sort of come in and out of it. It can be to the detriment of my performance sometimes!
patagonia decades
I've aged. 'Patagonia' has robbed me of a decade of my life.
home technology media
I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology.
stage ifs i-can
I love the stage. I'm always sniffing around to see if there's something I can squidge in quickly.
silly thinking lasts
I thought maybe I'd be a farmer. That was another silly notion. I think I'd last about five minutes, being a farmer.
hero people care
Within the microcosm of a film you get drawn to people. There are certain projects you care enormously about, and 'The Edge Of Love' was one because I was portraying a great hero of mine, Dylan Thomas.
numbers interesting acting
I've realised that nobody's going to die if I don't get it right and that there are a number of things out there, beyond acting, that are very interesting and fulfilling.
brother moving thinking
I got a lot out of 'Brothers Sisters' and learnt some incredible things and I think it certainly had come to a natural ending, so it was definitely time to move on.
running uncles years
I first went to the Chubut valley, the colony that runs about 800km across the width of Argentina, in 2000. My uncle had been there tracing family and came back saying I had to go. So a year later I did.
get-up private-life
I do like to keep my private life to myself. But then again, I don't really get up to much.
hard-work theatre want
I definitely want to go back to the theatre. It is hard work, it is repetitive, but it is intensely rewarding,
shifting easy planes
I'm 33 now and I seem to have hit a fitness plane. Shifting the wobbly bits isn't as easy as it used to be.
