• Gané Iowa no porque la demografía dictara que ganaría Iowa. Fue porque me pasé 87 días yendo a todos los pueblos pequeños, a las ferias, a las frituras de pescado y al BFW Hall, y en algunos condados podría haber perdido, pero quizá por 20 puntos en vez de por 50. En algunos condados quizá gané, y la gente no se lo esperaba. Tal vez gané en algunos condados que la gente no esperaba, porque la gente tuvo la oportunidad de verte y escucharte y hacerse una idea de lo que representabas y por lo que luchabas.

Mientras que a mí, de donde vengo, de los suburbios occidentales de Sydney, nadie se me ocurrió pensar que de allí saldrían actores profesionales. Incluso mi propia familia decía: "Nadie te querría en una serie".
