Dominic Monaghan quotes about
acting piece polished risks theater true
I mean, theater acting for me is the true form. It's the real place where you learn, the place where you practice, the place where you can take risks and try things out, and I think what film acting is when you've perfected what you're doing and it's a polished piece of work, then you do it on film.
real thinking ideas
I think we are all interested in end-times ideas and also in the current climate that we are all living in, where money is a little harder to come by, things continue to get expensive; gas prices are not too far from people's heads. There are more and more people. Human society's going to have real problems.
jobs taken quality
I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room. You're taken care of and the food is amazing, the quality of the job is amazing and then you work on smaller things but it never dictates my happiness or my willingness to go to work.
girl growing-up kids
No one ever told me when I was growing up that make-up and skirts were just for girls. If you're confident and you own it, [the other kids] are fine with it...I've always supported the lifestyle that I will do what I please and deal with it.
theatre agents television
When I choose projects, I don't stipulate between film or theatre or television. I receive scripts and I read scripts - and when I read a script that's good, I then get married to it and talk to my agent about what happens next.
choices answers film
I like films that deal with some of those questions that you can never answer: 'Why are we here? What's it about? What happens to us with the choices that we make? What are the ramifications for doing something right, or doing something wrong?' Those universal questions, I enjoy.
teacher brother jobs
My brother's a teacher in Costa Rica and actually does a more important and significant job than I will ever do.
eye acting faces
Television is face acting, and film is eye acting.
my-favorite apocalypse all-time
My favorite movie of all time is probably 'Apocalypse Now.'
people parent cool-people
My parents are pretty cool people.
holiday animal goes-on
When I go on holiday, I go to places that have animals I'm interested in.
flesh way alive
What would it take for me to eat human flesh? If that was the only way to stay alive, I would. I would eat anything.
guy mouths kind
I was never a big guy in pubs. I was never the main kind of aggressor or anything like that, but I found myself in trouble because I always had a mouth that would come back with something, and there was just never anyone who could make me be quiet.
thinking actors done
I think if you're an actor, then you can work on stage - but if you've never done it before, you're going to have picked up a few things that you're going to need to change when you're working on stage.
