It can be a bit annoying if another actor is trying to talk to the director and the wife is sitting on his lap.
Every week a tsunami rips through poor towns and villages all over the world. It claims 25,000 lives a day, 175,000 a week. It sweeps children from the arms of their mothers, robs hundreds of millions of any hope for the future. That tsunami is hunger. Help us end it now.
I got to work with Jared Leto. Jared’s cute. Oh, I’ll tell you. Jared will make you doubt about your sexuality.
I’m just a true Irish boy at heart. I’m just myself, I stick by my guns and I treat people the way I think they should be treated, regardless of their status. And I just have a laugh.
I think I’m still trying to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain’t brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot.
I don’t go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just have the appetite of a pigeon.
Her Majesty’s Secret Service wouldn’t have me on the payroll.
I am more comfortable doing a drama.
You’re scrutinized all through your life – you’re scrutinized by your family, by yourself, by society, and your friends in a certain way, shape, or form.
Women tend to immediately take responsibility if somebody messes up with both of us saying it’s our fault. Men are quite happy for it to be your fault it seems like.
I think people are propelled towards violence, and what propels them is much more interesting than the actual act of violence itself.
You have the upmost amount of energy because you’re not just having a cocktail at the end of the night. You’re actually not drinking alcohol and you’re keeping your body really clean and it’s an amazing feeling to be getting out all the toxins.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a drama or a comedy, the need to get the emotion and the character arc across is way harder in something like this so was more of a preparation.
I think there were six or eight weeks between ‘Total Recall’ and ‘Seven Psychopaths.’ I was at home in Los Angeles for ‘Seven Psychopaths,’ so it was the first time I had worked from my house here so it was great to be around the kids.
I just adored working in London. It was in London where I first had the idea of making a film.
Initially, less appealing to me than the idea of a vampire that is drawn by some misgiving or drawn by some sense of longing that he can’t quite satiate.
If you need to get in physical shape for a film and you have to maintain that for six months.
I’ve started films like Miami Vice where I’m in really good shape and I look back on that film and see the moustache is bigger as I’ve got a larger face.
I’m not going to experience the reality of hardship that sometimes my characters live in. I’m very cautious about that.
From my experience, the only thing you can do is take what’s written on the page and try, through your own curiosity and investigation, to make it your own and honor what the original intent was.
I love working with horses. People say you shouldn’t work with animals and children; that’s wrong. You must only work with children, because you only work eight hours a day and I love working with animals. Animals have an honesty that human beings reach to find in their lives at the best of times.
