dark losing-someone brain
I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.
looks genius ugly
There's a perceived inverse relation between looks and talent. Look at Charlize Theron - she made herself ugly for 'Monster' and suddenly everyone said 'she's a genius.' It shouldn't be like that.
tattoo done results
Having the tattoo itself is not really for the end result for me. I like having them done.
blood cost highest
Freedom isn't free at all, that it comes with the highest of costs. The cost of blood.
careers done problem
I've said from day one that I've got no problem with nudity. I've done it throughout my career.
manipulative
It's not socially acceptable to be a complete and utter manipulative cow.
brother jobs roles
Getting the role in '300' saved me. I'd been out of work for 11 months after 'The Brothers Grimm.' Once the film came out and didn't do so well, the director Terry Gilliam blamed me for absolutely everything. It was pretty appalling, and I had started to wonder if I'd ever get another job again when I was asked to audition for '300.
thinking purpose defeat
I don't think you should feel guilty about pleasure. Defeats the purpose.
love-is lazy way
I love being physical, but I am extreme either way. I can be superfit. And then I can be really lazy and ignore everything.
thinking people nerd
People do seem to think that I'm going to be some wicked witch, and then they're always surprised to find out I'm just a little clumsy nerd.
pants actors seats
I am very much a seat-of-the-pants actor. I will prepare when I have to. But I like being unprepared.
hate careers i-hate
I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career.
broken actors chance
There's nothing more exciting for an actor than a chance to lose, to be someone who has lost - especially if it's someone who starts off with a veneer of control. To be broken is wonderful.
