Ryan Kwanten quotes about
weekend guy heat
I'm more of a heat-of-the-moment type of guy. A friend will tell me about something coming up, maybe that weekend, and usually not an abundance of thought goes into my doing it.
inspiration huge
Money has never been a huge inspiration for me.
careers high-standards standards
I have very high standards for myself and my career.
sense-of-humor knows ifs
I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.
doors careers feet
Fortunately, now I've got myself in a position where things are about story and not money. In my earlier career, it was more about getting my foot in the door and to get enough money to live, to be perfectly honest.
blood years two
I make about two movies a year outside the 'True Blood' schedule. I work on a great show six months a year, then outside that I get to satisfy whatever creative urges I have. It's a great position, especially for a single guy like me.
pride want boxes
I pride myself on breaking any box that anyone wants to put me in.
passion acting easy
I love acting, so it's easy when you have a passion for it. I've always found the harder you work, the luckier you get.
running hate yoga
Im not a big fan of the gym, I do lots of outdoor aerobics - yoga, swimming, running - but I kinda hate talking about it. We have a term in Australia, it makes you sound like a wanker.
outsiders feels knows
Everyone in life knows what it's like to be picked on and to feel like an outsider.
mean good-friend people
I moved to L.A., and people said that I would never find work, that I would never find good friends, and I feel like I was fortunate enough to find the work, but it wouldn't mean anything unless I had a group of people who could appreciate it.
actors roles fit
I'm not one of those actors who gets physically fit for a role and then loses it all again.
heart home land
I'm fortunate enough with the surfing to be very much at home at the water - my pulse and heart rate are slower in the water than they are on land.
space people freak
I used to get a sort of sociophobia, and I still get it sometimes these days when I'm in a confined space with too many people. It's not like I freak out or anything, it's just that I'm far more comfortable in my own company sometimes than being surrounded by one thousand strangers.
