Brenton Thwaites quotes:

When I was 16 years old, I joined a drama group called North Queensland Academy of Dramatic Art under a woman called Maggie Shephard-King. She inspired me to audition for the role of Romeo in 'Romeo and Juliet.'

I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing in Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo and Juliet.'

In 'The Giver,' I play a character called Jonas who is a member of this community called Changeless. In this community, everyone is kept at bay emotionally and physically. They receive an injection every morning to control them from feeling things like love and pain and all natural emotions.

I was on a show called 'SliDE' when I graduated from college, and then that set the premise of my love for acting. It was so much fun. I was on set with my best friends every day. From that, I got 'Home and Away' and it was such a relaxed, friendly environment. Everyone's so kind and supportive.

I studied drama at the Queensland University of Technology, which was amazing. I can't speak highly enough of that school.

I went to college at QUT: Queensland University of Technology. I studied for a Bachelors in finance and acting.

My long-term plans are just to get as much experience as I can in Australia and try to make my own films.

My first job on the screen was 'Sea Patrol,' and that was quite intense, but I guess my first big break was 'SLiDE.'

Hugh Jackman really inspired me as a kid. He's a cool Aussie guy who works very hard, and he's a fantastic actor. Obviously, he keeps really fit. He seems like he's happy acting. Who knows if he really is, but he gives you that impression.

I was fortunate because my mum shared my love of film with me, so we would go to the movies twice, three times a week, and we would watch movies at home. As a teenager, instead of going out, we would have these huge movie nights in. But I almost failed drama at school. I hated it. It was all about the history of theatre.

I was on 'Home and Away' for about three or four months. I loved it.

I havent had the whole famous thing happen to me yet, and I hope I never will. I like to sneak away in the corners and hide a lot.

Growing up, I was always adamant that I would never do 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours,' because as an actor you want to set your path as that serious kind of actor.

Every movie has its uniqueness. You just do your best and go with it.

I haven't had the whole 'famous' thing happen to me yet, and I hope I never will. I like to sneak away in the corners and hide a lot.

When I'm not acting, I'm at the beach. I like to spend a lot of time in the water, surfing.
