I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.

There's an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled.

I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.

I'm in kind of a strange position - I have a strong Australian career and a strong British career. Then there's the American career. For every movie I do here, I do two somewhere else. I bounce back and forth between the three places.

I had no aspirations to be part of American cinema... I was really a Europe-based person, and those were the films I was inspired by.

I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.

I'm a singer and working on my second album. I write and produce. There is so much more that satisfies me. So there's not just this one ambition to become an American movie star. Because I will never become an American movie star.

I've been lucky enough to build a career outside of America, where I got 18 years and over 60 films of experience.

I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.
