aspect tedious hard
I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage.
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.
fighting monsters rims
To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own.
smile nice cameras
If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it.
people silence complaining
You have to keep people engaged until you get them through the next commercial. I'm not complaining about working in TV, at all, but just as an artistic reaction, I find myself being so drawn to moments of silence where things are allowed to breathe.
invited premieres
I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.
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.
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
host paint photograph
No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs.
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
