Women

My favorite play in drama school was 'The Bacchae.' It's about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy – it's related to the word 'bacchanal' – and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires.

Wisdom

The word philosophy sounds high-minded but it simply means the love of wisdom. If you love something you don't just read about it you hug it you mess with it you play with it you argue with it.

War

Australians are coffee snobs. An influx of Italian immigrants after World War II ensured that – we probably had the word 'cappuccino' about 20 years before America. Cafe culture is really big for Aussies. We like to work hard but we take our leisure time seriously.

Travel

I have two kids career and I travel and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

Respect

What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse it may work and it may not but I'm going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not either winning or losing.

Relationship

I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter because there's a different relationship with each of them.

Relationship

As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them.

Nature

I know I'm not known as method. By nature I'm not a brooder. What I continue to use is a mixture of the English school which is traditionally outside-in and the more American way of working from the inside out.
