You can take that 'I'm an artiste' stuff to the wrong extreme, too.
people signed ultimate
Well, I haven't signed anything giving people the right to do anything they want with my image, you know what I mean. I have the ultimate say.
total
When I decide to do something, I stick with it, total commitment.
eight extreme grow kids sports
There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight years old and they go, 'Whoa, this is incredible,' and grow up to do extreme sports. It's the same for me with acting.
accustomed affected applause beautiful hearing hundred people room value walk
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.
money move next
You're always thinking, What's the next move - the career, the money.
Once I became a total buffoon, it was so liberating.
wall mean love-is
There are certain aspects of acting that I don't like. I'm not a person who loves being on set. I mean, I know people that have their espresso machines in their trailers and they like being in there and they put pictures on walls. But I don't like it. I don't like sitting around.
country fans bigs
I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.
light lines three-things
They tell you to memorize your lines, follow your light, and hit your marks. Those are the three things that you shouldn't do. You should not learn your lines, you should not hit your mark, and you should never follow your light. Find your light - that's my opinion. Everyone else will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.
employee crushed ifs
I like being an employee. I like making somebody happy - and if they're not, then I'm crushed.
racism film furious
How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?
stars thinking people
I don't walk around like I'm a movie star because I don't think of myself as a movie star. People usually don't even notice me.
scared made rings
I've never made $20 million. I'm scared. I don't know if you gave me The Ring if I could carry it and bring it to Ozamorph, or whatever you call it.
