becomes behaving character opposition playing
If you're playing a villain, you like to have a rationale. Why is this person behaving in that way? It can't just be 'I'm going to kill them all, I want to take over the world!' Because then your character becomes a functionary, the hero's opposition and nothing else.
afford australian-actor direct hoping keen life married means year
I'm really keen to go back and do some theatre, but I can't afford to at the moment because we're getting married in September. And then I'm hoping to direct a film at the end of this year, and that means a year of your life without pay.
australian-actor honestly monster relate terms
You know honestly I think there's a Dracula, a Wolf Man, and a Frankenstein's Monster in all of us. They are sides of our own character so that's why I think we can relate to them in terms of a 'I know how that feels' kind of thing.
australian-actor claim sort
You have to sort of see the way that the character behaves, and what the character says and does, and claim it in the same way that you claim anything, really.
dancing excited made
Dancing with Kate Beckinsale made me very excited.
sick challenges stuff
I have to say. I kind of love all that stuff - those physical challenges. I guess there will come a time when I'll get sick of it but at this stage, I just like it all.
roles complexity
I don't really have preferred roles except those with some complexity.
thinking hair people
I have absolutely no dance background at all. Nor a singing background. People, for some reason, think I can. And I don't know why that is. I sort intoned in Moulin Rouge, through facial hair and buck-teeth, but I don't really call it singing.
