real believe privilege
I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.
best
I do know one thing: it's best not to read the Internet.
action imagined
I'd never really imagined myself as an action star.
handed large life love occurs portion
I love what I do, but it occurs to me I may have handed over a large portion of my life to fiction.
skeptical
I'm pretty skeptical about Hollywood and its fascination with the sequel and the franchise.
I couldn't do 'Eleanor Rigby' because it was clashing with another project - something I was going to go do - something with Liv Ullmann.
All I can say is working with Ridley Scott is a dream come true.
You've got to be really careful that you're not falling into the Hollywood trap, you know?
You can't really be picky when no one is offering you anything.
nice night tvs
There's something nice about making a night of the theater rather than sitting in front of your TV.
rocks tennis balls
To act with a tennis ball and imagine it's a tentacle, or if you're in some kind of wilderness film and you go, 'Okay, we can't have a grizzly bear here, but imagine when you step over the rock there there's a grizzly bear.' I don't know. They're tough moments.
challenges actors want
I'm not scared of doing movies that are just about entertainment. I'm not scared of doing movies that are really challenging and cover difficult terrain. I just want good experiences and I want to challenge myself and I want to just keep learning, as an actor.
