college tv-shows tvs
I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon
real matter talent
The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there.
careers over-you acting
Being at the mercy of the acting profession, in the early days of one's career, is really brutal and feels like you have no control over your life, at all.
invited premieres
I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.
actors television directors
They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.
live-life thinking people
I realise few people get to live the life they always wanted, but I'm so neurotic, I don't really think about it. I'm too busy thinking, 'I hope I don't screw up my next scene.
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.
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.
acting levels exciting
Acting is never really effortless, at least not for me. It requires a massive amount of work. But, there's definitely an added level of having to just create the whole thing again, every time. It's also a very exciting thing, to do that.
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.
thinking interesting people
There are definitely worse people to be compared with. I think Brad Pitt makes interesting decisions.
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.
reality people gypsy
Most people that work in [show] business, if they're not gypsies by nature, become gypsies, just because of the reality of this business.
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.
