Josh Hartnett quotes about
character interesting looks
I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.
want film my-own
I just want to make good films on my own wherever I can.
opening-up dating cans-of-worms
I don't really comment on my personal life because I feel like any comment at all is opening up a whole can of worms. I'd just rather not talk about who I'm dating.
writing thinking light
If I was painting or writing, I wouldn't veer away from things because they seemed unsavoury to me. So as an actor, I kind of think the same way. I should do things that are different and interesting and shed light on the craziness of the world.
sports football age
Up until the age of 16, I was very focused on sport - I played a lot of football. Then I tore my ACL and had to stop playing.
stars thinking race
You think that if you are the best actor, you deserve the most or if you are the biggest star, you deserve the most. That race just isn't important to me.
mistake trying actors
I became popular very young. I viewed myself as just a young actor trying to figure out how to do well, and, you know, making mistakes and learning and growing.
independent thinking attention
Honestly, I guess if you looked at my CV, I've been doing independent movies since I started. I think that I kind of took a few steps back from Hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because I wasn't quite ready for the attention.
hippie parent bits
My parents are hippies, so I must have a bit of hippie in me.
real scary horror
It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you.
girlfriend party road-trip
When I turned 18, I skipped my party to take my girlfriend on a road trip. It turned out to be an amazing birthday.
forever guy fame
You don't stay the hottest guy forever unless you're, um, Dionysus.
mold film break
There are some films that really break the mold, and some films that don't. I've been looking for films that break the mold a bit.
kids people actors
I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!
