icons render
Cultures render their icons in their own image. Which comes down to vanity, in some sense.
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.
hope leads led next opposite suspect turn wonder
Sometimes I just wonder if I'm being led by variety. If one film leads me down one path, sometimes I just want to turn around and head the opposite way for the next project. I hope that's not the case, but sometimes I suspect that.
allow properly recede sort valid voices
Sometimes, what's not said is just as important to the writing as what is said. As a writer, we have our voices heard. I think that, at oftentimes, the ability to allow the dialogue to recede properly into the world of the film is also a really valid sort of way to be a writer, I think.
hard manages
Sometimes Hollywood manages to knock a movie in its teeth so hard that it never manages to get back up.
fetch pat throw
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
choose love money purse stick
You have to stick to what you love and purse that at all costs. Don't choose money first; it won't make you happy.
rather searching
To me, I think I'm just going to keep focused and forward on what I'm doing, work-wise, rather than searching for any kind of meaning in it.
bad equation experience good says
There's never been a mathematical equation that says a good experience making a movie equates to a good movie, or a bad experience on a set is going to lead to a bad movie.
