people want directors
And I just want to work with good directors and good people.
people levels damage
A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.
writing school home
I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct.
badass boys men
I was playing pretty boys and these angelic roles like Nicholas Nickleby and all that stuff. And I was like, 'What am I doing? This isn't who I am, as a man or an artist.' I had to overcome people's belief that I was too pretty to be a badass.
thinking roles film
I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.
son artist acting
Right before I got Sons of Anarchy, I actually quit acting for 18 months and didnt read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world.
feet careers two
In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet
filled-in silence television
Television is all about sound. You'll never get a moment of silence unless there's something really extraordinary going on, on screen, visually. They never let a moment of silence pass without being filled in television because it's a very sound-driven medium.
host paint photograph
No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs.
cinema landscape adaptation
The landscape of cinema is not original. Not to say there aren't great movies being made, but it's much easier for studios to make movies that have built-in audiences. So it's all remakes, adaptations, a lot of remakes of adaptations.
believe character actors
I watch these actors who when you go to buy a pint of milk you see them smiling on the cover of 20 magazines. Then when you see them in a film it's hard to believe the character because you just see them everywhere
being-happy actors lucky
I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early.
couple reading years
I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year
difficult
It's always difficult to really sum up exactly why a relationship works.
