jobs mean men
I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.
character mean thinking
I tend to stay in character between scenes... to be rather serious on set, but here's why, and I think people will find it surprising. I'm one of the worst 'corpses' on a movie set, which means you can't keep a straight face. You start to get the giggles and you can't stop.
mean ideas numbers
I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn't really onto anything good. The number of times I'm treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It's really not practical.
mean fighting injustice
I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.
mean people disaster
I always leave that for other people to decide, because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much, is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.
mean acting fool
It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.
air breath found fresh human psycho somebody terms welsh-actor
But after having done American Psycho and Shaft, I found it a breath of fresh air to play somebody who's completely human in terms of his emotions.
becoming character created haunting icon tombstone
Bateman becoming an icon made me resentful. It will be on my tombstone that I created that character. And I resented that character haunting me.
both clean couple elephant fights forehead man movies seeing sick
We both said we were sick of seeing movies where the fights are clean and tidy, so we made it messy, ... a welt on my forehead that made me look like the Elephant Man for a couple of days.
apocalypse nuclear pretend somebody
Nuclear apocalypse - who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.
changed days except found learned next people saying standing time word
'The Machinist' changed me. I learned that I really enjoy, literally, not saying a damned word for days at a time, except for what was in the scene. Whole days of... nothing. Just... standing still. I know a lot of people found it bizarre, because they'd be standing right next to me thinking, 'Why aren't we talking? What's going on?'
biggest good rebellion wear work
The biggest rebellion I could've ever had with my father would be to work in a bank. He would have disowned me. As long as I was doing something where I didn't have to wear a tie, I was good.
santa
I put on weight like Santa Claus. I just get this belly that kind of extends out.
opened speaking time
They've been speaking about (a sequel) from the first time they opened their mouths.
