That's precisely what we do as actors: try to convince the audience we are somebody else. And if you can do that, you are really doing something.

If someone's gonna pick between me and Emma Stone, they're gonna pick Emma Stone.

It irritates me so much the way people talk about soaps because it is far more difficult working on a soap than it is on a big studio film.

People ask me all the time what it is about Australia that produces so many big stars. Honestly, I believe it is a combination of things. Our education standards are quite high, but our industry is very limited. Yet we're very aware of the industry - everyone goes to the theater, sees TV shows.

You don't leave Australia unless you are passionate. Any Australian actor who comes to America is really committed. There are no dabblers - it's all or nothing.

My mother's family raised grains and crops. My father's grew sugarcane and mangos. So I knew more about the basics of farming than of acting.

No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.

I'm not a massive 'Star Trek' fan.

I started working on a TV show in Australia, straight out of high school, so I missed the whole university experience.

Every time I see a piano, I have this urge to play it.

People ask me, 'How do you remember your lines?' That's nothing. That is the least of my concerns.

Where I'm from on the Gold Coast, we say that there are a lot of 'cashed-up Bogans,' you know, people with no class but a lot of money.

When I eat, I have to chop up everything on the plate and stir it all together. It devastates my mom. Everyone at the table is like, 'That looks like cat vomit.' And I stir my Coke with a spoon until it's flat.

You should have seen me at 14, with braces and glasses, gangly and doing ballet!

All your mannerisms change easily when you have inch-long acrylic nails.

If I looked good in 'Wolf of Wall Street,' I cannot take full credit; it was because of the hair extensions and makeup.

It's just terrible: I miss flights all the time, more than I probably catch one.

Everyone's set the bar really high and expects me to be brilliant.

New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It's amazing.

I think, at the end of the day, age is just a number. It's like, in real life, I've got friends who are dating someone their age or dating someone who's twice their age, and they're equally in love.

I am unobservant.

I say this about everything: when I was on 'Neighbours,' I said, 'These are the best years of my life!' When I was filming 'The Wolf Of Wall Street,' I said, 'These are the best months of my life!' I always think I'm having the best time ever, and that I'll never have so much fun again.

I won't take parts where the female character has no substance.

I just try to keep healthy more so than trying to be thin.

It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

I'd rather trust nine people and have the 10th one stab me in the back. I'd take that fall in order to have those nine friendships or working relationships instead of having none. That's not living.

Chemistry is so important and so unpredictable. Sometimes you get in a room with someone where aesthetically you make perfect sense as a couple, and then you read, and you're both kind of sitting there like, 'This isn't working for some strange reason; it just doesn't really pop.'

I've worked everywhere. I worked in a warehouse packing surf supplies, a restaurant washing dishes, in retail, and I was a 'sandwich artist' at Subway.

I have many moments of self doubt. Everybody does.

I learned a lot about pain and suffering during 'Pan Am.' We had to wear very constricting period-correct girdles and bras. After that, I learned to read a script with an eye toward the undergarments.

There are things in life that don't come to me naturally, and social media and the Internet and all those things are some of them, somewhere between taxes and cooking!
