I come from a very, very small town. There were no other actors around. I never met any actors. A lot of those times when I’d be out in the sheds with my dad, I’d step outside, and there’s just nothing out there but thousands of acres, forty thousand sheep, and miles of nothing. And so my mind would just wonder about what else was out there. – Jason Clarke
