For years all I seemed to be doing was lobbying politicians and others to persuade them that European culture needed movies, and that we had to protect it.

I was made for action movies.

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'm really drawn to European films.

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

I tend to not think about the kind of movie things I want to be doing, because I've worked in all sorts of different places, and I've spent all sorts of time in England, and I'd still do things in Australia and in America.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.
