buying certain front great joys love row seat watch work
One of the great joys of being able to write something you can make, if you get certain actors you want and love, you're kind of buying yourself a front row seat to watch them work.
believer building great jumping sitting waiting
I'm a great believer in not sitting around waiting for the right part to come around, but jumping in and building it for yourself.
fighter great mentally physical
What makes a really great fighter is a combination of ingredients: one is everything physical that you can do, and the other is what's mentally there for you. And I think that comes down to how big your heart is and what's driving you.
good great path religion teach treated
I think the great thing about religion is it's there to teach us the good path and that we're all equal, that we should be treated as such.
characters great life lock shock ways
I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.
great
I think it's great to be able to go and watch a short film before you watch a feature.
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.
audience early emotions funny great hughes john learned lesson trains
I learned a great lesson early on, even before I was really an actor, from that movie 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' that John Hughes made: that you could make a movie that's really, really, really, really funny, and sometimes you can still achieve... making the audience feel very deep emotions as well.
people signed
I've signed four autographs for Sam Worthington in L.A., and I haven't told any of the people that I'm not him.
bad high review seen
I've never seen a film get away completely unscathed like I have 'Animal Kingdom.' There's not a single bad review that I've read of it yet; all through Sundance, all it got was high praise.
outdoors spent time
I spent a lot of time outdoors as a kid.
difference films low people stage time vastly
People talk about the difference between working on stage and working on film. I think you could say that there are as many differences between working on low budget films and working on big budget films. You really are doing the same thing, but at the same time you're doing something vastly different as well.
darth fact hard luke vader wrap
Even to this day, when I think about the fact that I'm in this 'Star Wars' world, that I'm a half-brother to Darth Vader and an uncle to Luke Skywalker, it's too hard to wrap my head around.
films life
Blue Tongue Films is a very important part of my life.
