book twilight etc
I haven't read the 'Twilight' books. But it's everywhere so I feel like I know it. Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. but... I haven't read them.
sneakers feels comfortable
I never wear sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in them.
careers years lasts
I want to have a career that lasts 60 years, not six.
thinking people want
I think I was about 16 when I first figured I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be a fighter pilot before that, but then I thought I don't want to kill people so that ruled that out.
thinking costumes pubs
I like to think that at the end of a show, you can just take your costume off and go to the pub.
mistake too-much pieces
It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.
kindness healing generous-spirit
Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.
real real-life ends
Towards the end, one of them was older than I was in real life.
thinking class people
Nepotism is despised in England, which is a very good thing. I think something to do with the class system. People really look down on nepotism. So yeah, it never really works in your favor - even in this industry.
fun school gay
When I was about 16, I did a Neil LaBute play called A Gaggle of Saints from a collection of plays called Bash - very violent story about a young Mormon who goes to Central Park with his friend and beats up a gay guy. But it was the first thing I had ever done, and I thought, "God, this is fun! This is far more fun than anything else I've been doing at school. I want to stick with it."
jobs cutting actors
There are certain things that cut right to the bone, but as an actor you have to because you get turned down for things all the time. I have a friend who was told he didn't get a job because he was too hairy. I've never heard anything that bad, but you have to get used to that sort of thing.
crazy commitment years
I was supposed to go up for something recently that was a six-year commitment, and I didn't want to do it. It was a terrible part as well. I don't want to be doing six years of something. I'd go crazy.
thinking amount
I think it's quite good to have an amount of unavailability.
