So I built my entire career in the United States and that's why it feels like I'm an American actor.

I like the Baldwin boys a great deal. Alec is super-smart, super-articulate, almost too smart to be an actor.

I can't find my car keys in the morning. Trying to get out of my house is a nightmare. 'Where's my wallet? Where are my keys? I have to go find a missing person.'

A lot of people think I'm that guy in 'Betsy's Wedding', but I'm not. What it is for me is that, on some level, I connect with the character emotionally.

I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing, but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.

For the most part, the American film market has become very corporatised, even independent film to a degree, and because of the corporate management mentality, they want to take the safe way.

My accent's become a weird hybrid.

Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.

What a miserable thing life is: you're living in clover, only the clover isn't good enough.

I think we can question whether degrees are antediluvian. Online learning has flexibility. Why not master courses in energy, writing, communications, and engineering and get a credential?

Which is one of the dangers of immersion journalism: you can find yourself getting sucked into battles you have nothing to do with, in this case an ongoing battle between Muslims.

When I was a kid, I attended a small Catholic school in a south suburb of Chicago.

I think the stress on income inequality is something that every American should take seriously.

The nice thing about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does.

No printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young minds what they should be. Not all the books on all the shelves - but what the teachers are themselves.

You are my everlasting home. Don't you ever be afraid. I am enough. We are enough.

We should read music in the same way that an educated adult will read a book: in silence, but imagining the sound.
