“I dreamt of being an astronomer; I had a series of 'How and Why' books...” — Geoffrey Rush Quote

“I dreamt of being an astronomer; I had a series of 'How and Why' books on the planets and the stars. At that stage, there were only 14 galaxies; now there are multiverses, dark matter, the nano-microscopic world of the interior of atomic structure.”

“I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there's special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater.”

“I live in Australia, and I am Australian, and because I grew up in an era where we didn't have a film industry, and now we do, it's just really exciting for me to be able to say that I work in my own culture in a medium that I find fascinating.”

“My piece in One World or None was the description of the effect of a single atomic bomb on New York City.”

“I didn't want to spend my life contributing to the development of more atomic weaponry.”

“As the only country to have suffered the devastation of atomic bombings, Japan will seize every opportunity to... convey the stark realities of these bombing to the world.”
