boxer favorite gotta love people three wait
People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.
life people
I think the life of an actor is very glamorous to other people - then, realities set in.
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.
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.
good mystique people playing star
Some people are really good at playing the movie star - they are really good at cultivating that mystique - but I'm not really into that.
difference films low people stage time vastly
People talk about the difference between working on stage and working on film. I think you could say that there are as many differences between working on low budget films and working on big budget films. You really are doing the same thing, but at the same time you're doing something vastly different as well.
ahead art committed dedicated enthusiasm form move music people power tend
In Australia, there aren't a lot of people committed to art, so these communities form that are dedicated to music, theater, cinema, but they're very small. So, they tend to move ahead on the power of collaboration, enthusiasm and creativity.
glamorous life next sets
I think the life of an actor is glamorous to other people, but then the reality sets in: you don't know where you will be next year or how long you'll be there for.
reckon time
I reckon I would be able compare anything to anything else if you gave me enough time.
disgusting
Actors are excused from a lot of things, and we get away with a lot... I find it equally interesting and exciting as it is disgusting and bizarre.
british cut gonna reach stand success
Australians and the British are very similar: If you try and stand out in any way, and you try to reach for success, someone is gonna be there to cut you down.
crap love movies stuff talk
I just don't want to do crap movies, man, because I just love that I can get up and talk about them and talk to journalists about stuff that I'm really proud of.
learned life scripts writer
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
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.
