| Quotes: |
I like cooking, but I like other people cooking more.
<br />
<hr>
My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organised chaos.
<br />
<hr>
I used to do impersonations: Harry Butler in the wild, or I'd do Gough Whitlam.
<br />
<hr>
I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.
<br />
<hr>
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. |
