ideas way half
I have a lot of ideas that I feel are half-formed, or half-way okay.
boxes
The Great Gatsby' ticked so many boxes for me.
thinking luxury differences
The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you've got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film.
pay privilege actors
That's one of the great privileges, being an actor, is that someone pays you and sends you off to learn about something that otherwise you'd never know about.
character interesting quality
The recipe for any character is always very interesting, as far as what doses of certain qualities you want.
responsibility self anchors
I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.
team feelings actors
There's the pressure of being a No. 1 on the call sheet, being a lead actor. There's almost this feeling like being captain of the team. You want to put a bit of energy into actually setting a good example.
hard-work thinking fiction
Whenever you deal with science fiction you are setting up a world of rules. I think you work hard to establish the rules. And you also have to work even harder to maintain those rules, and within that find excitement and unpredictability and all that stuff.
people skins enough
When people are really great at what they do there is no aggression because they are comfortable in their own skin. They know themselves well enough that you don't have anything to prove.
moving silence actors
One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.
attitude tree way
It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.
jobs skills extras
Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.
nice night tvs
There's something nice about making a night of the theater rather than sitting in front of your TV.
i-can
I can't sing or dance.
