character thinking acting
Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
school kids class
I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.
play important actors
The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
people want watches
I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.
girl kissing first-kiss
The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.
people way opinion
I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did.
kissing love-is discovery
Love is a sudden revelation: a kiss is always a discovery
roles want different
I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.
motivation hero opportunity
I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.
stupid makeup thinking
I think people read the tabloids because they want to see you eating a burger, or out of your makeup or doing something stupid because they just want to see that you're like everyone else. And that's OK. I don't want to catch myself anymore saying that my life is hard, because the good far outweighs the bad in my life. And it's easier to focus on those things, on the things that are important.
faces film your-face
You learn after you've been in the business for a while that it's not getting your face recognized that's the payoff. It's having your film remembered.
giving feelings annoying
Being dubbed as a hunk sort of annoys me. It gives me a yucky feeling.
responsibility want radical-change
We've been given this gift, our planet, and we've found no other place in the universe that we can inhabit. I want to do something to create radical change to help save it. It's our responsibility.
challenges answers climate-change
And now it's your turn - the time to answer the greatest challenge of our existence on this planet is now.
