thinking different kind
I like the idea of experimenting with different kinds of formats, and I think you've got to keep on your toes and keep changing.
thinking years actors
I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.
thinking different directors
I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.
children thinking government
Everyone is an abused child, if you think about what governments do.
thinking romantic-love firsts
Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.
jobs thinking unemployment
I have a bad time between jobs because I'm always convinced I'll never work again. I think it may be an English thing, this fear of unemployment.
change nice thinking
A good part of why I never went back to England was part of that, I didn't want to be in those sort of flowery films. But I think it's a nice change of pace-I don't know how long it'll go for. There will always be the Merchant-Ivory/Kenneth Branagh movies, but there's something else now-really, it's always been there but the Americans getting to see it makes all the difference.
acting british british-actor cultural schools share sure
British acting schools are diferent. There is a cultural difference. Americans, Africans, British, I'm not sure we share a language.
awake british-actor kept questions worried
Before I started, I worried about what I was going to say to the actors. It kept me awake at night. Sometimes you get the questions wrong.
adult british-actor gun reasons soundtrack
I didn't want to make soundtrack film or a gun movie. These are the reasons I wanted to make a movie. I wanted to make an adult movie.
ape became british-actor double guys kept school stunt worked
One of the guys who worked at the Ape School became my stunt double so we just kept working on different things and just play around.
best carolina love next
I love Charleston. That was one of the best experiences I have had making a film. I'm back to Carolina to do my next film.
acting fun great possibly pretend
For me, acting's just great fun. A lot more fun than making sculptures, so that's what I wanted to do. It wasn't any great calling-maybe years later, when I'm 60 or whatever, I'll pretend it was, who knows?! But acting is just the most fun I could ever possibly have in my life... and it still is.
deal good land legacy looks
It looks like Legacy got a really good deal on that land.
