Each day, I come in with a positive attitude, trying to get better.
One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun — especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.
Every day, you reinvent yourself. You're always in motion. But you decide every day: forward or backward.

I suspect there isn't an actor alive who was able to truthfully answer his family's questions after his first day's activity in his future profession.
