kindness healing generous-spirit
Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.
mistake too-much pieces
It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.
careers normal actors
The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
stories screens
Once you become the story off-screen, you are less likely to be the onscreen one.
nice sleep guy
In fact, when I met Kit Harington first, he was pretty much feeling how I'm feeling today - at a photo shoot and you've had no sleep. He was just a really nice, English, down-to-earth guy. No pretense, nothing.
dad thinking smoking
I've got my dad's height and smoking habit. But I think I've got my mum's looks and sensibilities.
names iron eight
Well, I couldn't spell my name until I was eight - my second name. I was so dyslexic. Max I could do. Irons, nope.
sneakers feels comfortable
I never wear sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in them.
awkward video looks
I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.
pain looks world
I don't look on the Internet; it's a world of pain.
careers years lasts
I want to have a career that lasts 60 years, not six.
careers looks recognition
If you look at the careers of Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Paul Giamatti, Meryl Streep, none of them shot up in terms of fame or fortune or recognition, they laid a platform of good, solid work and became better and better.
couple thinking actors
I know I haven't done it. I've done a couple of films, which were intended to go straight up. Thankfully they didn't. So now, I think that's what I need to do. I just need to grow as an actor.
adults roles stories
There was recently a story out that I turned down a role in a major franchise. That's not true. I refused to audition for it. I didn't get the part. I didn't even go in because I thought that the part was just a repackaged version of the parts I played before in these young adult films - sort of moody, masculine, but sensitive and all this kind of thing. It was just a repackaged, rather dull thing.
