Lying down from 50 feet, I was perfect. So I could really kill someone. Which is always good to know [On learning how to use a gun in _Black Hawk Down (2001)_].
Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.
The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
