“I tend not to read the size of the production into a script when I'm reading it. It's just something you respond to or not and I do think it's very dangerous to say it's time now to do this or it's time now to do that.” ThinkingReadingDangerousScriptsSizeProductions Author:Eric Bana
“Yeah I was aware of the book, but hadn't read it. So as soon as I'd finished the script, I got a copy of the book and read that. My wife had read it and she loves it, so that was a good sounding board. I like her writing style, she's such a page-turner. I enjoyed The Constant Princess as well. I think she's great. The books are very popular with women and I can see why.” ThinkingWritingWellsI CanBookWifeStylePagesYeahConstantScriptsMy WifeFinishedEnjoyedBoardsCopiesPrincessLike HerVery PopularTurnerWriting Style Author:Eric Bana
“Definitely the script because you want to be part of an interesting story, you want your character to be a challenge, then comes the director. But essentially it's the script first and whether it's a character that you think you can do.” ThinkingWantFirstsCharacterStoriesCan DoChallengesInterestingDirectorsScriptsInteresting Stories Author:Eric Bana
“It's got to be a challenge but at the same time you have to feel as though you can play them - it's really dangerous to want to be a part of something just because you think it's going to be great. I've been sent plenty of scripts where I've known that it's going to be a great film and a successful one, but I just couldn't convince myself that I was the right person for the part. So, I think you have to be careful with that.” ThinkingWantFeelsPersonsPlayFilmChallengesKnownSuccessfulDangerousScriptsCarefulPlentyConvinceBe CarefulRight PersonGreat Film Author:Eric Bana
“I don't consciously seek out Australian projects. I put them on the same table as all the other scripts and I wouldn't ever do a film just because it's been shot at home.” HomeFilmProjectsShotsTablesScriptsAustralian Author:Eric Bana
“It's usually very, very hard for me to pick up a script that was written and try and see myself as a part of that, especially when you're used to performing all your own material. It's OK with drama, I like being handed great material but I think with comedy it's far more personal and probably a lot harder for me to find a fit.” ThinkingTryingHardUsedComedyWrittenMaterialsFitDramaPicksHarderScriptsPerforming Author:Eric Bana
