jobs crazy thinking
I looked pretty crazy but at the time, you don't think anything of it. You think, "I've got an amazing job. I'm working and this is cool." I remember I was being fit to go to a premiere for something at Burberry and Christopher Bailey, who designs the clothes there, saw a picture of me and I looked weird. I had short black hair, hardly any eyebrows, I looked very very thin and he went, "We need to put Douglas in a campaign." So four days later, I was shooting a Burberry campaign because he had seen me looking crazy from the show so that was kind of funny.
thinking people way
I think we can't feed the amount of people that are on this planet the way we are doing it.
thinking perfect trying
I think it's more important to seek the truth than to try and be perfect, to be honest.
responsibility thinking phoenix
I love Leonardo DiCaprio. He just makes really great films with great directors. He has great relationships with directors but also has a great social awareness. I think he balances his work with his responsibilities to his world, the environment, things like that very well. I'm very impressed by him and I admire him a lot. And other actors like Joaquin Phoenix, I just look at him and marvel at his unexpectedness, just his work really.
thinking imagination perfection
I don't think I've reached perfection by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe someday I'll become a perfectionist.
book reading thinking
For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.
thinking journey settling
It's better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen.
teenage thinking years
I've spent a lot of my teenage years working on sets. I've missed out on more than just playing rugby, but I think I've managed to keep my feet on the ground and keep my friends around me.
'Romeo & Juliet' is still relevant and real.
characters romeo
Romeo and Juliet were stunning and beautiful, but a lot of the other characters surrounding them were caricatures.
derogatory offends quite upsets
Even to this day, when someone says something derogatory about Boy George, it still upsets and offends me. Part of me will always be quite attached to him.
I've never been aware of the difference between so-called posh actors and working-class actors.
met people women
I've met some of the most beautiful women in the world, and I can tell you lots of them are the most unattractive people I've ever met.
brilliant characters commentary dickens loved social themes writes
Dickens writes such brilliant characters and stories, and his themes and social commentary are still so relevant. I think that's why he's still so loved today.
