aspect good issue money
I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don't see why a movie can't make a lot of money and also be good.
work
If I'm going to work for twelve hours a day, I want twelve hours of awesomeness!
people
I find it strange when people can't relate to kids, because you were a kid once, you know?
kids
I don't have any kids of my own.
I don't call acting a real job, and writing is a hobby.
hits kick papers sell talking wanting
I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
audience people repeated shooting soon stuff takes tense
I always kind of aim with the action stuff to make it feel like, as an audience member, you're experiencing what the people are experiencing. As soon as you go into slow-mo or repeated edits, shooting it like it's a stunt, it takes it out of that reality. The more real you make that stuff, the more tense it will be.
amazing god holy jesus quickly stories
I did my holy communion, and it was amazing how quickly the stories of the Bible and God and Jesus got under my skin.
I did have someone tell me that I looked like Conan O'Brien. I was like, 'What?'
work
Getting the call from Ridley Scott made me think that sometimes you just need to go to work.
becomes involved nourishes thank trouble work
I blame my work for a lot of things. I thank my work for a lot of things, too, but the trouble with being so passionately involved in work is that it becomes like a lover, like your partner, because it nourishes you.
people
I always wonder why people cast me in anything.
choose love money purse stick
You have to stick to what you love and purse that at all costs. Don't choose money first; it won't make you happy.
darth fact hard luke vader wrap
Even to this day, when I think about the fact that I'm in this 'Star Wars' world, that I'm a half-brother to Darth Vader and an uncle to Luke Skywalker, it's too hard to wrap my head around.
