I was with my grandmother, while one of my brothers lived with my dad, and one lived with my mom. It wasn't a great situation. Acting was the one good thing I was involved in.

I think there's a lot of mythos about what's required in acting.

One of my earlier films is 'Quigley Down Under.' That was early on in my career, and that was horsey.

I came from the outer suburbs of Melbourne, so you do learn how to survive in that environment.

Let me give you a little Mendelsohn 101: I came up in television in the early- to mid- 1980s in Australia.

I'm very well known in the industry and relatively well known by people who are aficionados and what not, but outside of that - no.

As an outsider in America, you do see the kind of hypocrisy that's rampant there.

'Slow West' is a western, and it's sort of a twist on the genre stylistically, I think, from what I understand going in.

At 15 I had moved out of my parents' place, and my options were looking pretty narrow. But I had this acting thing and I just wanted to be able to keep going because it was really good. That was all I wanted.

I don't have memorabilia but try to take a bit of wardrobe, usually because they dress me better than I dress myself.
