When I do my job, I dive into these characters and try to flush something out of myself into these characters, and hopefully that translates well.
I installed anti-rust roofing into homes in Cairns. I packed boxes at Baby Barn. I was even a Manny! Mate, I know more about braiding hair and My Little Pony than most men, I can tell ya.
You spend five months filming in outer space and saving the world, and suddenly that kind of family unit and story disappears, and you come crashing back down to Earth, and you have to do your own washing... and most actors are insecure that the last job they did will be their last job ever.
I don't have a real home. When I got 'Avatar,' I sold everything that I owned because I knew it was going to be a long journey. I've got two bags, and that was four years ago, and I've been working ever since, and I've still only got two bags - a bag of books and a bag of clothes. That's about it.
I've lost love. I've tried to reclaim a lost love and didn't know how to do it.
To supply people for ages in camps makes no sense... you have to rebuild that cabana that they rent out to tourists on the weekend. They need help getting their fields repaired and their boats repaired.
I like to play board games a lot with my girl, things like that. We attempt to cook. And even if it goes wrong, it doesn't matter because it's the time you spend doing it that's important.
Most actors go, 'I read the script and fell in love with it'; I fall in love with the directors.
You help families focus on the future through their children.
A lot of these people were getting to where they didn't need help anymore. You have to start all over again.
I cry a lot, and I have no problem with that at all. Listening to your emotions is part of being alive.
I do movies I would go to see.
I think if they suddenly cut away and you realize there is a stunt guy, you're out of the movie.
I've done a lot of roles where I'm the hero saving the planet.
