constantly
When you're constantly involved in domination, what you're really looking for is constant highs.
good maybe saying seem tend
I tend to take on a lot of things. And then they all just seem to happen at once. Or maybe I'm not good at saying 'No'. But the juggling's fun.
approval festival given local offshore seal
I think, often with Australian films, if an Australian film has been given the seal of approval by an offshore festival or an offshore release, then it does mean a lot to a local audience.
I think I'd be too scared to direct my first movie and put myself in the center.
I thought I'd be married and a father by 35.
work
Getting the call from Ridley Scott made me think that sometimes you just need to go to work.
characters pictures weirdos
If, at the end of the day, I can look back and see pictures of all the characters I've played, and there's a smorgasbord of weirdos and interesting, odd, different characters, I'd be so happy.
bunch fictional kept life movies taking
I don't want at the end of my life to look back at just a bunch of fictional movies I was involved in that kept taking me away from the real world.
I don't call acting a real job, and writing is a hobby.
hits kick papers sell talking wanting
I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
becomes involved nourishes thank trouble work
I blame my work for a lot of things. I thank my work for a lot of things, too, but the trouble with being so passionately involved in work is that it becomes like a lover, like your partner, because it nourishes you.
people
I always wonder why people cast me in anything.
closer surf theater time wasted
I wasted too much time in my twenties. I worked, but I would do theater in the evening, and during the day I would surf and do irascible things. And then, for some reason, as I got closer to my thirties, I thought, 'Okay Joel, you've wasted enough time.'
basically blonde jesus looked pictures raised
I was raised Catholic, and I remember in all the pamphlets and pictures we'd look at, Jesus was basically blonde with blue eyes. He kind of looked like Jared Leto.
