Zitat des Tages von Martin Henderson:
My mom sent me money for a car, but the cops impounded it because I had no insurance.
It's a tough accent. It's difficult for actors who are not Kiwis.
Heath, I believed in him when I first met him, and helped and supported him. He went on to obvious success in the States and then I had him support me. It can be a lonely, horrible, hard place. It's great just to have someone to call to say 'I know, man, I was there'
I've become a lot more relaxed about my career, but maybe that's a part of growing up. I realise there are things I hold dear and value, aside from professional achievements.
Alex O'Loughlin is an old friend. Actually, when he first came to L.A., he stayed at my house.
I try not to invest time in what other people think of me.
I always thought I'd go to university and then get a real job, you know. Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I'm still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants.
I think it's part of my personality - I love to travel; I love different cultures and philosophies and perspectives on things.
I went to New York for a while before I moved to L.A., and I was very clear that I didn't want to do TV. For a decade, basically, I didn't even entertain the idea.
With a thriller, you're going to have your red herrings, as different suspects are thrown up as possible culprits. You can only explore that for so long - if you do that more than a few times, it starts to get a little redundant.
I don't even know who my character is in 'Grey's.'
I'm never entirely happy. That's just part of my personality, and I just have to accept that.
I think I'm fortunate as an actor in that I do seem to get opportunities to play roles that aren't necessarily typical of what I've done before.
The accent got lost somewhere along the way. I'm a little embarrassed about it. When I arrived in LA I assumed I'd be able to put on the American accent. It proved difficult so I had six months working with a dialect coach and it's become a habit.
I think mine's such a mish-mash now: I get criticised for sounding like a Yank when I come home, and everybody thinks I'm Australian when I'm in America.
Most horror films fail to scare me. I think 'The Ring' plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.
As soon as I got off the plane in L.A., I heard they'd cast the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and that it was all being shot in New Zealand! That was pretty ironic.
When you're doing a one-man play, you maybe rehearse for a month, and then you're just doing it an hour or two a night.
Definitely, I'd love to do more in New Zealand if it was the right time.
It is a little weird now, going over to Heath's place. It's like, 'Hi Heath, hi Nomes.' Very strange!
I'm not in a real rush to be a big star.
My mother was a product of World War II. My grandfather was on leave in Edinburgh when he met my grandmother.
Most horror films fail to scare me.
It's a great challenge to come from little New Zealand and beat the odds in Hollywood.
There's something incredibly primal about facing something treacherous but doing it anyway.
It's harder in the States. I'm much more inclined to get offered things that are a lot straighter and heavier and dramatic. And they go by looks, too. If you look like a leading man, then that's what they will consider you for.
During the shoot, when you're not at work, you're learning lines for the next shoot, and that can be all-consuming.
'Little Fish' has reminded me why I fell in love with acting in the first place.
You are constantly looking for ways to do something you haven't done before, whether it's a particular role or doing theatre. As a person, I'm really open to experience.
What's exciting about Sundance is that they're making a name for themselves in this boutique television niche world, and there's energy behind that.
