good
I was a good boy; I was never in trouble for anything.
great
I think it's great to be able to go and watch a short film before you watch a feature.
city felt loved people pittsburgh proud size sports
Pittsburgh felt like the perfect size of a city to me. There's enough to do, but it's not like living in a circus. I also really loved how sports-enthusiastic Pittsburgh people are: how proud of their sports they are.
bad
Really, no-one is bad except for serial killers and dictators.
people
Particularly when you're making a movie of a book, people are always waiting with their knives - you know?
people work
Part of the privilege of being an actor is the people you get to work with.
experience normal rather wonders
Part of me wonders what it would have been like to have had my first experience of India in a normal way, rather than through the eyes of a film.
audience people repeated shooting soon stuff takes tense
I always kind of aim with the action stuff to make it feel like, as an audience member, you're experiencing what the people are experiencing. As soon as you go into slow-mo or repeated edits, shooting it like it's a stunt, it takes it out of that reality. The more real you make that stuff, the more tense it will be.
boxer favorite gotta love people three wait
People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.
responsibility
Some of us are better at owning the responsibility of our actions than others.
good mystique people playing star
Some people are really good at playing the movie star - they are really good at cultivating that mystique - but I'm not really into that.
element great
My whole journey and career has been really interesting, but the one element it never really had was any sense of great momentum.
good love movies turn walk
I just love good movies. And not every movie you're going to end up in is always going to turn out right, but at least walk into it with the right intention.
crap love movies stuff talk
I just don't want to do crap movies, man, because I just love that I can get up and talk about them and talk to journalists about stuff that I'm really proud of.
