films life
Blue Tongue Films is a very important part of my life.
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.
areas clear gotten grey life moral point view viewpoint white
When I was young, I had a very clear point of view on things in life, on moral questions. There was a black and white viewpoint on my world. As I've gotten older, I see the grey areas appear.
life people
I think the life of an actor is very glamorous to other people - then, realities set in.
glamorous life next sets
I think the life of an actor is glamorous to other people, but then the reality sets in: you don't know where you will be next year or how long you'll be there for.
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.
learned life scripts writer
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
character larger-than-life boyhood
I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.
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.
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.
