What we do as actors is we go through phases where you superficially learn all this information.
liars thinking
I think any actor that says 'I never watch my films' is a liar because you have to watch it at least once and also you're going to watch it when you're doing your ADR.
noticed people time
That was the first time people noticed me in the U.S..

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.

I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.

I don't worry about it, ... I just worked with Neil Jordan on 'Breakfast On Pluto,' where I play an Irish transvestite singer in a London cabaret.'

I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.
falling-in-love fall thinking
I think you fall out of love with theater while you're doing your eighth show of your eighteenth week and your body is saying, "Please make this end."
honesty character thinking
You do your due diligence, you read as much as you can, and then, ultimately, I find that you discard that and you concentrate on the characters [of 'Antropoid'] and you can draw on [the research] if you wish, but I think ultimately it's about bringing as much truth and honesty to the portrayal as possible.

I enjoy all aspects of it, I don't have a preference for any medium. I think each of them has its attractions and I would hope they each inform the other in some way.
planes ifs knows
I don't know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again.
two challenges trying
My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.
two romance sitting
I will always love film, the romance of film, sitting in the darkened room with strangers and watching a story for two hours - that will always remain and never be eroded by television.
fighting roles want
The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.
