Brendan Fraser quotes about
Graham Greene, as I understand it, was quite outspoken in his criticism of American foreign policy
Elizabeth Hurley and I had a lot of fun together. She's a very beautiful, confident woman
Embrace your dorkdom or rail against it. The choice is yours.
What if Shakespeare had had a test audience for Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet?
I would act whether or not I was paid. I would be involved in ensemble groups. I would have the desire to tell stories.
I think you have to show homage to creators.
George of the Jungle is a cartoon. He's a guy who swings around on a vine all day. Are you not buying that?
I suppose if it has a practical purpose, I appreciate a pat on the back. I suppose it's rewarding, ultimately.
I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I'm the most happy fellow that I know.
I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it.
They had a hard time miking me in my loin cloth, I mean, where were they gonna tape it?
I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests.
The other day, when my 4-year-old saw a flowering tree and said, "Daddy, it's raining petals," that was poetry that just melted my heart into a mushy, yummy Fudgsicle.
I just rely on the text to speak for itself and then speak it as I believe it to interpret it, and then just know that the rules of the world that we're creating allow for things to come to life, and then just trust in the process of making a film. Hopefully we'll make a sequel, because if we do, we had such a great time as an ensemble, I think the best thing to do would be to just take the whole cast back. This is Iain's idea and I agree with it. Just reincarnate all the characters and put them back into the world. There's no rules. Why couldn't we do that?
