| 1. | And I just want to work with good directors and good people. |
|
| 2. | Good roles are hard to come by, and whether they're a few lines or a lead, you snap 'em up when they come along. |
|
| 3. | I bought a house, and I've been decorating it. |
|
| 4. | I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage. |
|
| 5. | I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on. |
|
| 6. | I have 60 years to make the money, but the choices I make in the next five years are really going to define my career. |
|
| 7. | I have lived in Los Angeles for four years and I have been in night clubs three times and two movie premieres. I just don't get involved. |
|
| 8. | I love hip hop music, I make hip hop music. |
|
| 9. | I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult. |
|
| 10. | I watch these actors who when you go to buy a pint of milk you see them smiling on the cover of 20 magazines. Then when you see them in a film it's hard to believe the character because you just see them everywhere. |
|
| 11. | I'm an Eminem fan, he's a good MC but I like Wu Tang Clan, they're more my flavour. |
|
| 12. | I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon. |
|
| 13. | I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early. |
|
| 14. | I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year. |
|
| 15. | If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it. |
|
| 16. | If I'd seen a grown man beating a crippled boy, of course I'd intervene. If my father died and left my mother destitute, it's your instinct to take care of her. So when I started to think about it in those terms, it started to make sense to me. |
|
| 17. | In a work capacity I'm only interested in acting and producing. |
|
| 18. | In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet. |
|
| 19. | In the wake of September 11 and all the other things that have been going on I was a little disheartened by the state of the world. I felt that humanity was in grave jeopardy and that it would be nice to do something like this that has a good message about compassion, virtue and manner. |
|
| 20. | It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide. |
|
| 21. | It's generally more fun playing the villain. |
|
| 22. | No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs. |
|
| 23. | So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity. |
|
| 24. | The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there. |
|
| 25. | There are definitely worse people to be compared with. I think Brad Pitt makes interesting decisions. |
|
| 26. | There are so many opportunities in LA. |
|
| 27. | They cast me because I was known from a TV show and had a big American film coming out. Even English films are geared towards American audiences. |
|
| 28. | To which I reply - no different from doing straight sex scenes. There's no feeling there and it's really weird with everyone standing around watching. |
