act country grew less moved people places tangible
When you've got big sky, big places and less people, people act differently and treat each other differently. It's tangible. It's not just a concept. I grew up in the country and then moved to the city, and there is a tangible difference.
pay
We'd try not to pay attention. Anything I can do for you, Coach?
bit flashy good people restrained
With young people, it's how brassy and flashy can you be. But you get a bit older, it's about how restrained can you be. You have to feel it all, think it all, but you don't have to play it - it's just gotta be there, and if the story's good and the script's good, people will see it.
air bugs closer december feels golf indoor literally november playing
There's nothing closer to indoor golf than here in November and December because you have that air conditioned air feel with no bugs and no wind. It literally feels like you're playing in a dome. It's that good.
anyone time unknown work
I've been working pretty solidly for a long time: Not that anyone would notice, you know what I mean? It's been my goal to work as much as possible, and be as unknown as possible.
awe bit british bunch everybody experience great leads played tv worked
I've played the leads in two British TV series. I've done a bunch of mini-series. Everybody in Australia is a bit in awe of BBC. I've worked for there, and that was a great experience.
anyone british nasty watch watched
Reality shows. I'll watch them, but I won't tell anyone I'll watch them. I remember when the first British 'Big Brother' was on. I watched that Nasty Nick. I never watched it since, but I watched the first one. I was mesmerized. Don't tell anyone!

Ashley is as good as anyone we've had here, including Melissa.
played since size smaller states terms time
Australia is the same size as the U.S., but it's much smaller in terms of population. I've been working in the States off and on since the '80s, and the first time I played a lead here was in '91, I think.

You see hardworking prosecutors who are trying to get the best jury they can to get a person convicted of a crime.
