real matter talent
The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there.
issues watches film
I have too many control issues, so it just is not good for me to go and watch a film, too soon after I make it.
hip-hop hips hops
I love hip hop music, I make hip hop music.
fighting monsters rims
To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own.
smile nice cameras
If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it.
people silence complaining
You have to keep people engaged until you get them through the next commercial. I'm not complaining about working in TV, at all, but just as an artistic reaction, I find myself being so drawn to moments of silence where things are allowed to breathe.
invited premieres
I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.
people want directors
And I just want to work with good directors and good people.
people levels damage
A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.
writing school home
I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct.
badass boys men
I was playing pretty boys and these angelic roles like Nicholas Nickleby and all that stuff. And I was like, 'What am I doing? This isn't who I am, as a man or an artist.' I had to overcome people's belief that I was too pretty to be a badass.
thinking roles film
I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.
son artist acting
Right before I got Sons of Anarchy, I actually quit acting for 18 months and didnt read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world.
feet careers two
In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet
