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.
responsibility
Some of us are better at owning the responsibility of our actions than others.
buying certain front great joys love row seat watch work
One of the great joys of being able to write something you can make, if you get certain actors you want and love, you're kind of buying yourself a front row seat to watch them work.
films life
Blue Tongue Films is a very important part of my life.
characters pictures weirdos
If, at the end of the day, I can look back and see pictures of all the characters I've played, and there's a smorgasbord of weirdos and interesting, odd, different characters, I'd be so happy.
good
I was a good boy; I was never in trouble for anything.
anger cage dominance fighting fueled male ring street
Fighting in the ring or cage is very much different from fighting in the street. Fighting in the street is very much fueled by anger, pride, and male dominance and ego.
basically blonde jesus looked pictures raised
I was raised Catholic, and I remember in all the pamphlets and pictures we'd look at, Jesus was basically blonde with blue eyes. He kind of looked like Jared Leto.
fetch pat throw
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
competition males men theory
I have this theory that alpha males are actually not alpha males. They're actually very scared - particularly scared of competition from a lot of men.
element great
My whole journey and career has been really interesting, but the one element it never really had was any sense of great momentum.
work
If I'm going to work for twelve hours a day, I want twelve hours of awesomeness!
family maybe people
I'm not saying I'm a family guy, but maybe that's what people see in me: some kind of paternal quality.
certain guy puts stomp walks
There's a certain relief to just being the guy who puts on the costume and walks onset and gets to prance or stomp around in a Ridley Scott or Baz Luhrmann movie.
