Matthew Newton in Three Blind Mice (2008)

Quotes

Matthew Newton

  • A teacher at NIDA taught me - it's about acting but it can apply to life - that you shouldn't try to control things that are outside your control because that will make you lose control of everything. You just have to get on and do it and be true to yourself.
  • They taught me a sense of honesty, particularly my mum.She's very upfront. I remember the opening night of Assassins at NIDA and I had a lead role. The show went really well and I joined the crowd afterwards and I saw Mum crossing the foyer. She'd just arrived in Sydney and she walked straight up to me and I put my arms out. And the first thing she said was, 'You don't call that an opening night outfit, look at those pants.' Then she hugged me and said, 'You were very good.' She just had to get it off her chest.
  • I want to keep making films - the best drug for me on set was collaborating with people, and helping them do something they didn't think they could do. It's a very heady feeling. Making films is what I want to do.
