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.
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.
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.
icons render
Cultures render their icons in their own image. Which comes down to vanity, in some sense.
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.
