Martin Henderson quotes:

My dad was my hero when I was a young boy. And then it's a toss-up between Han Solo, the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team, and Marlon Brando.

I think it's part of my personality - I love to travel; I love different cultures and philosophies and perspectives on things.

I love new places, new people, new ideas. I love cultural differences, and I'm fascinated by the truth - all the different versions of it.

Most horror films fail to scare me. I think 'The Ring' plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.

Definitely, I'd love to do more in New Zealand if it was the right time.

I'm quite proud of growing up in New Zealand where, from quite early on in primary school, you're learning to count in Maori, Maori mythology and dances and colours and history, and I think that gives a child a really good grounding.

It's a great challenge to come from little New Zealand and beat the odds in Hollywood.

It is a little weird now, going over to Heath's place. It's like, 'Hi Heath, hi Nomes.' Very strange!

When you're doing a one-man play, you maybe rehearse for a month, and then you're just doing it an hour or two a night.

Alex O'Loughlin is an old friend. Actually, when he first came to L.A., he stayed at my house.

I personally really sympathise with the Maori cause - what's gone on historically and their struggle today as a culture, and how they hold on to that identity and stand up for what's rightfully theirs.

What's exciting about Sundance is that they're making a name for themselves in this boutique television niche world, and there's energy behind that.

The accent got lost somewhere along the way. I'm a little embarrassed about it. When I arrived in LA I assumed I'd be able to put on the American accent. It proved difficult so I had six months working with a dialect coach and it's become a habit.

Most people start eating healthy after the doctor says they have a problem. That's just human nature.

Most horror films fail to scare me. I think The Ring plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.

There's something incredibly primal about facing something treacherous but doing it anyway.

Heath, I believed in him when I first met him, and helped and supported him. He went on to obvious success in the States and then I had him support me. It can be a lonely, horrible, hard place. It's great just to have someone to call to say 'I know, man, I was there'

You've got to not care about what people think. You learn that as an actor. If you get a bad review, will you be destroyed by it? Or will you think you're God's gift when you get a rave review?

I'm never entirely happy. That's just part of my personality, and I just have to accept that.

I always thought I'd go to university and then get a real job, you know. Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I'm still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants.

I hate talking about myself, I find it such a boring topic. I'd much rather talk about other things.

We spent a few days up Ben Nevis, which is the biggest mountain in the U.K., and there was one day when we had to make a decision whether we were going to go to the summit or not. It was already getting dark, but we made the call to go and made the summit, but as soon as we got there, this blizzard just hit.

I feel for anybody who has that level of celebrity where you can't lead a normal life.

The writer of 'The Red Road,' Aaron Guzikowski, deserves the credit. The fact that the dialogue is so understated is what makes this show so appealing, especially as an actor.

I've got to say, I like being the everyman.

I like dramatic stuff, and I have a goofball side, too. I like to do comedy and off-beat things as much as something really, really serious.

Where typically the cops are generally the good guys, 'The Red Road' blurs the lines intelligently and shows corruption from all sides of the law. It provides unpredictable drama where the audience is kept guessing about how these characters will each choose to act.

It's actually reassuring to see people struggling to do our accent instead of us constantly trying to emulate British or American accents, which we are always asked to do.

My mom sent me money for a car, but the cops impounded it because I had no insurance.

With a thriller, you're going to have your red herrings, as different suspects are thrown up as possible culprits. You can only explore that for so long - if you do that more than a few times, it starts to get a little redundant.

I don't even know who my character is in 'Grey's.'

I'm not a big fan of horror movies, especially the recent teen-slasher sort of ones.

In LA it's kind of common to date some random girl or guy, whereas back home it's more like you'll have your group of friends and you'll all kind of hang out, and then eventually there'll be a girl in the mix, and if you get on, then the next minute you'll be together. This whole dating process doesn't happen.
