I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol.

I think part of that is to create an environment where it's like real life, where you don't really know what's going to happen to you in a certain scene.

Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it's not the most Christian of sentiments.

As much as most of the actors were kind of curious to know what their character meant in relation to the script and to the plot, they really were quite happy to be part of the adventure of not knowing.

I never wanted to be a movie star.

We don't relate to her too much because you don't want the heroic character to not be heroic.

I think in this, definitely, because you are feeling how it felt to live in a completely different time. The mannerisms and the way that people behaved was quite different.

For me, even just being English was a whole sort of experience in as much as I'm Australian.

Life is neither comedy or tragedy, life is what you make of it.

I want to be a blonde vampire. Catherine Deneuve was a blonde vampire, and she was my favourite vampire ever.

We've become much more casual and much more relaxed in social interactions, where there was a formality and maybe a kind of respect at that time that doesn't exist now.

So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.

I do Yoga. I'd like to say I do it every morning, but I don't, I just don't have the time.

This city can be kind of brutal, so you see your dreams from every different angle, but ultimately it's about acting and if you enjoy acting, you will always enjoy acting.

I mean normally you have your agent call the other agent and all the agents talk and then finally you get a phone call and you hear some misrepresentation of what someone else had to say.

I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol.

It was kind of scary because working with Woody Allen becomes sort of a big deal in your mind. He directs in that Woody Allen character some of the time - he has these idiosyncrasies that are really charming and funny.

I'd definitely rather be rich than famous.

I had a friend, and we always used to pretend to be twins. We had this fantasy about going to Hollywood together. We were about four.

But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie.

New York in a way functions as another character within the story, as it does within most of Woody Allen's stories.

To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American accent.

Well, obviously I was excited by the idea that Woody Allen was going to direct it. But at the same time, the script itself and the character was really interesting.

I guess when I first started speaking with an American accent, there's a tendency to create a caricature of the accent because you just exaggerate the pieces that stand out to you.

I think my parents see my life now as very conservative.

I just don't talk about who I'm going out with, that's it. It's an odd thing to sit around describing yourself to 10 different people every 5 minutes yet it's kind of therapeutic in a way.

But I'm also a vegetarian so there's another factor I guess.

I do, too, most recently while I was singing karaoke in some weird bar.

Because in Australia there really isn't a lot to do. There aren't a lot of opportunities.

I didn't even understand the whole idea of Hollywood.

After that, I was offered lots of lesbian roles, but I didn't want them because I'd already played the best there was.

So wearing a corset certainly changes your state of mind.

I'm not working now, so I'm sort of facing the unknown.

Yeah I think Pitch Black was edgy, I think that's what worked for our film.

No one will deny that the excessive use of alcohol and alcoholic beverages would do more than any other single factor to make impossible a total war effort.

We used to drink an awful lot of alcohol.

A lot of victims, for example, have become addicted to alcohol and drugs. It seems to me that the church's healing ministry is going to be enhanced through this in much broader strokes. That's good, it's all positive.

I'm glad now, at age 66, that I never used alcohol or tobacco... I've buried a lot of friends who used tobacco or alcohol.

One day my wife went and saw the accountant and said she's pulling the plug. She said you guys are done. I said, how bad can it be? 10 grand? She said you're not even close. It came out to almost $50,000 in alcohol for two months.

So at the end of the day, our number 1 goal, our top priority, is to motivate American youngsters to reject the abuse of illegal drugs, tobacco and alcohol. All three of them are illegal behaviors.

There's so much fear involved in trying to do something you don't know how to do that drugs and alcohol can become a big part of your life if you have an addictive personality or are very unsure, which most songwriters are.

Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.

Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off.

Somebody said to me this morning, 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean, I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!

I've never had a drink of alcohol or any drug in my life.

The stated mission at the time was simply to use the influence of the entertainment industry to do an accurate portrayal of drug and alcohol abuse. We all admit that we're not trying to censor anybody.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

The good news is that parents are the leading influence on kids' decision not to drink alcohol.
