opened speaking time
They've been speaking about (a sequel) from the first time they opened their mouths.
bizarre method
My method can be nothing, or the most intense, bizarre preparations you've ever seen.
differences actors levels
There's a level of confidence in the actor you're working with that really helps a lot. It makes all the difference.
half
Whatever you do, do it completely. Don't do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.
growing-up dad character
I don't think I was particularly in need of superheroes. I never had any fascination with Superman or Spider-Man or a Batman kind of character. If it happened at all, it was imagined characters that I had invented. My dad was a role model for me. He was a fascinating man. There was intrigue and entertainment growing up with him. He gave me an edict that I still pursue: “Life should never be boring.
sleep obsession pleasure
The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.
shoes imagination trying
Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.
nice nuclear actors
Nuclear apocalypse-who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.
romantic doubt comedy
In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
wales born welsh
I was born in Wales but I'm not Welsh - I'm English.
batman-movie
I won't kill you but I don't have to save you.
smart clubs want
If you're smart you're just gonna be all about the work. But as a young person, you want to going out to clubs and doing all the stuff. I'm just glad I survived it.
cities sweat summertime
I'm not really looking forward to wearing a black rubber suit in the summertime in humid Chicago. If you see a pool of sweat through the city, follow it and you will find me.
successful thinking able
I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to.
