Quotes:I considered necessary to be a mechanic. When I be 14 I wanted to quit seminary and passageway of walking donkey work by my motor. But my dad said Son, you shouldn't accomplish that. You should bring to an end in school until your childhood be ended, and when you're done, don't be compensated your hobby your work., I race historic muscle cars back in Australia. And I try to race home as soon as I'm finished a movie but don't tell anyone., When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home., I wasn't a religious follower of comic book activity as a kid, but I was a fanatical fan of the television show with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. So my memories of the Hulk were very vivid., I could become characters and to me that's what acting was - I didn't want to shroud it in mystery., "Early, it was 'Richard Pryor' (qv). I did stand-up for 10 years before acting. And the movie _Mad Max (1979)_ (qv). It cemented in my mind that I wanted to be an actor." [on his influences to become an actor], I already loved Orlando like a little brother before we started shooting. We did spend five months together in Morocco during "Black Hawk Down". And you have to take care of Orlando. He doesn't even know how to make coffee. (Starts imitating Orlando's voice) Do you want coffee, Eric? How is it done again? Do you put the coffee in the water? Or in the filter? Can you make the coffee, Eric?, The Hulk is definitely what I would categorize as un-fun. I don't think it always needs to be fun. It doesn't always need to be one big happy family. Everyone got along, but it was a difficult, hard shoot. And I think you see every ounce of sweat on the screen., I love being at home, being with friends and family. I'm of European stock, brought up in Australia. I'm a passionate guy. I just love life., I think I've been fortunate, and right now I'm in an incredibly fortunate position, which I'm totally aware of. I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there., [On training for Troy] You couldn't have bluffed your way through. It takes a lot of bloody arrogance even with six months' preparation., My favorite part of the interview is the 401 assumptions before you've even started speaking, based on what you're wearing, what you've chosen to eat, how the waiter looks at you., When I go on the plane to fly home, I'm literally capable of forgetting what I do for a job. That also comes about because I choose to take massive breaks between projects, and because I choose to do this ridiculous thing of keeping home, home., I wanted to be a racing driver but, you know - this'll do., I deliberately fly in and out of LA for as small a time as humanly possible., I hate to break it to you but actors really do love each other. It's a crazy job and we put ourselves in vulnerable positions. I don't care if it sounds corny but it's true: you're part of a brotherhood, and protect each other.
