thinking needs done
If you've done what you need to do, you need to go bury yourself, because what else are you going to do? I think that that's where life stops.
stars thinking people
People think if you're a movie star, you're the boss. But first of all, I'm not a movie star, I'm in a very different place. I'm not looking to do what I want - I am looking for what we can find. It's a creative process.
thinking hands hysteria
I'm way bigger than people think I am. I'm way bigger. I've been underrated all my life, and that's fine. I have privacy. I can walk the street without being hassled. I can be a regular guy. The price to give that up is so horrible. When you become a part of the hysteria - it's not completely in my hands - you have to hide.
father thinking eight
I was convinced that acting was for fools. I was on the stage when I was eight with my father, he was playing one of those Greek blind guys that sees things and warns people, whilst I was in a blue skirt. I think there were 5,000 people in the theatre, it was ridiculous.
moving thinking careers
I think it's dynamite, the way my career has just kept moving, even when people didn't know it did. I made such interesting films, but, yeah, they're not necessarily the big movies that go to the supermarket. I don't need those movies, because I don't wanna do them.
jobs thinking lucky
I think I'm an actor. You can hire me. I can do a good job. But you also have to get lucky now and then. Every film-maker knows how hard it is to do a good film. You have to just make many, and see how lucky you get.
unique thinking blade-runner
Blade Runner' is such a unique film. How do you describe a diamond? I don't think you should ever touch it again.
wall honesty thinking
Well, of course, every actor's limited, and I am the first one to admit it, in all honesty, when I think that I've hit the wall a bit. I'm not ashamed at all, I think it's a process that you have to go through. That's how you learn.
mean thinking differences
I think one third of my work is with first-time directors because I think I should, you know? Really, the difference between a first-time director and a second- or third-time director - I mean there's no director who makes enough movies anyway - but if they're talented, they have it. And there is no movie that is perfect.
hate gun thinking
I hate guns, I think they're the worst thing ever invented.
attack darkness fire glitter lost moments people seen ships shoulder tears time watched
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
describe
'Blade Runner' is such a unique film. How do you describe a diamond? I don't think you should ever touch it again.
good guinness innovation involved
When I first got involved with Guinness it was not good at innovation,
I make more movies than I see.
