I Die In Almost Every Film I've

My Kids Started School, So Having A Strong Base In Melbourne Has Been A Key Priority. I'm Not Daunted By The Travel. People Say, 'it's So Far To Australia,' And I Say, 'you Get On The Plane, You Eat Well, You Sleep, You Wake Up - And You're There.'

I Suddenly Became Aware Over The Last Couple Of Years That I'm In My Sixties. I Never Thought About It. I Thought I'd Better Start Acting My Age Or Find Roles That Are Going To Be Interesting To Me In The Sexagenarian Repertoire, Because It's Not What You Do In Your Forties Or Fifties.

I Went To England In The '70s, And I Was In My Early 20s. There Was Still A Residue Of That Era Of Being An Underclass Or Colonial. I Assume It Must Have Been A More Aggressive And Prominent Attitude 40 Years Before That, Because Australia Internationally Wasn't Regarded As Having Much Cultural Value. We Were A Country Full Of Sheep And Convicts.

I Do Love Perusing The Dictionary To Find How Many Words I Don't Use - Words That Have Specific, Sharp, Focused Meaning. I Also Love The Sound Of Certain Words. I Love The Sound Of The Word Pom-pom.

I Was Never A Leading Man. I've Always Been In The Outer Concentric Circles In The Company, Being A Character Actor, Which Is A Good Place To Be. It Gives You That Diversity.
