pockets handkerchiefs showy
You have a handkerchief, put it in your pocket.
law names three
I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law' or 'Heartthrob Jude Law'. In England anyway, that's my full name. That's the cheap language that's thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn't look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more.
years people champion
I was an optimist, a great champion of the human spirit. And I lost that for a time. I feel like I've regained a bit of that in the last few years but there was a period of my life in which I had a very low opinion of people in general.
fun thinking play
The greatest gift an actor can have is not revealing who he is but through the parts he plays. Unfortunately, we live in a world where everyone wants to know everything all the time and I think it takes away part of the fun of acting that we have to go through that all the time.
acting looks roles
Landing a role now is not based on my looks - more on my acting ability.
years law names
The truth is, one can work for another ten years and be playing parts, pushing yourself as hard as you can, and you are still accused of that. You're still tainted with that brush. I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law'.
faces scene found
When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centers on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.
cocktails cold straight-up
I always prefer things straight up, not cold or watered down. Not big on cocktails either.
single children mean
When I think about it like that, it feels like a burden. But that won't mean I'll be single for the rest of my life - I hope. I feel very settled with myself in my world. I don't feel as needy and desperate to prove things about myself. In my twenties I was very keen to achieve this and disprove this and that. Now I enjoy just being able to concentrate on my children and my work and myself.
wicked roles witch
I`ve always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role; I`d rather be the Wicked Witch.
strong clever writing
I hadn't read or heard a lot about [Tom] Wolfe until I read this script, and in that way I think it was really clever to write a piece about him instead of Max Perkins,[Ernest] Hemingway, [John] Fitzgerald, or others that people have strong opinions of already.
fun effort events
Making an effort is polite, and getting ready and looking after yourself makes an event more fun.
peace thinking messages
I think the message of peace is for everyone.
sex symbols knows
I would never know how to sell myself as a sex symbol. That's not how I'm programmed.
