Hollywood is the place to be for actors - and there's just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there's less of them. I guess that's just how it is. Like if you pick a pink jellybean out of a jar of green ones it'd be amazing, but if you pick a green one, no one will care.

I'd have to fight for an Australian role over an American actor, and I already have to do that overseas, so why would I have to do it back at home?

I don't know that many Australian actors in Los Angeles, but there are a few of us. I mean, we kind of get together occasionally, but I wouldn't say it's an alliance or anything like that.

There isn't a lot of work in Australia. I think that's why everyone comes over to America to find jobs and pilots and things, because there's not enough work to justify staying there, unfortunately. Like, I wish there was. I would love to stay home and be working with my family around the corner, but the work just isn't there.

I absolutely love working in Australia. Overseas is a lot tougher - it's really hard to break into campaigns over there.

The Australian film industry is a small industry, so you have to really be flexible within working in different mediums. A lot of actors work in theater, film, and television, because there's not much opportunity in terms of employment there.

I'm never there enough to really keep up with what's going on in the Australian film industry. I just try and be part of it as much as I can.

I get along with Australians really well. Everyone's usually really cool, and it's always a drag to leave.

I want to go back home and make movies in Australia. There's so many stories that we haven't captured yet. In Australia, we cling on to whatever culture we have. We're such a multicultural country.

I love coming to Australia. It's one of my favourite places.
