" I read what people say, because they're my audience. If you don't know how you're coming across, I think you're cutting yourself off a bit. "I always put acting to sport in the sense that if the fans are booing you, you know you've got to play better. We don't necessarily have the bounce of a theater, but we have the critics online, we have our critics in the newspaper, so I do take it all on-board in order to go, 'Well, they're the ones paying 12 bucks, I've got to step up my game.' Or 'Sam Worthington has to change this,' well f*** it, I'll change that... That to me, that then helps my profession and links what I think my job is, that's to entertain people"
