ADD QUOTES
- Eric: (On what is nice in life) I love being at home, being with friends and family. I'm of European stock, brought up in Australia. I'm a passionate guy. I just love life.

- Eric: (On the script for the Australian comedy The Nugget) I read the script and pretty much as I finished filming Chopper, I read it and felt like a child again. I felt like I had read an old book that had taken me back to my childhood and made me feel something that I couldn't quite explain that touched me very deeply. I was quite choked by the story when I read it.

- Eric: (On his film Chopper) It was everything you could possibly experience in life and a movie, all rolled into one. It was extremely bizarre, extremely exciting, extremely bloody scary, and obviously fraught with all kinds of angst.
