- My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organised chaos.
- I used to do impersonations: Harry Butler in the wild, or I'd do Gough Whitlam.
- I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.
- I have a sort of long-term plan to direct. I'm pragmatic about it. I realize I don't need to rush it or force it.
