Sydney Theatre Company | Watsons Bay | Harbour Bridge | Nicole Kidman

It's on my list of things to do. I'm just trying to find the right time. I have kind of a fear about it, a bit of stage fright. The theater community in Sydney does really well. You have the Sydney Theatre Company, which is probably the biggest company, with fantastic directors and actors. Cate Blanchett had a play there. All of the great Australian actors have done at least one play out of STC, except me. There's also the Stables and Belvoir St. theatres. There are a lot of little theater companies that manage to stay alive.

If you had to pick one place that exemplified the vibe of Sydney and what it's all about, what would it be?
There's a famous restaurant in Watsons Bay called Doyles on the Beach. You should take people who've never been to Australia before. It's very touristy, but it's a great spot. Watsons Bay is just so picturesque.

And, of course, there are the obvious tourist places, like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Your friend Nicole Kidman jumped off the Harbour Bridge with that writer from ­Esquire, right?
Yeah, but she didn't jump. She climbed. I haven't done it myself. I actually tried to go once, and then something happened with the car and we missed it. There's a certain time you have to do a tutorial and we missed it. It is something I would like to do, though.

Where do you go when you want to pamper yourself?
You can get a fantastic massage at the Ginseng Bath House. They soak you in all this great stuff and scrub you down. Then you get into these hot pools of special mineral water. I also go to this great woman named Eva Karpati in Double Bay who gives incredible facials. You go in and she says, "Oh, we've got a skin emergency on our hands." She just gets down to it and does a thorough cleansing.

What about when you want to get away from it all?
