Zitat des Tages von Ben Foster:
I'm so sick of sarcasm and irony, I could kill! Sincerely, the real root of things is love and sacrifice.
We've all been influenced by American naturalism, and to ignore that entirely would be impossible for me as someone who works primarily in film.
'A Streetcar Named Desire' is one of the best, if not the best, modern American plays. It deals with family dynamics, mental health, PTSD, war, and love. It's hard to beat.
The heat around young actors burns out. Natural ability and magnetism only get you so far. The rest is hard work.
Transcendental Meditation, for me, has been a way of turning down the outside racket and turning up the bandwidth of instinct, intuition, concentration, attention. On the light ends, it's a power nap. On the strong ends, it's a giant battery, and that battery doesn't run out.
Once you're in the presence of people who have put their lives actively on the line, repeatedly, you're never allowed to complain again. And I do, and we all do. But now I look at things a little differently.
I don't think I'm particularly shy. I just don't like being front and center as myself.
I don't like to rehearse, and the film-makers that I have been drawn to are interested in provoking something between people rather than nailing a scene in advance.
I don't watch most of the movies I'm in. Ever. They're like a bad relationship where, after you break up, you don't want to look over all the valentines.
The Tour de France is a wicked sport in the way that it's not just man against man or woman against woman; it's not flesh against flesh. It's flesh against machine.
It's okay to fail 'cause there's no failure, you're just informing the richness of your experience, and that's - that's the greatest gift you can possibly give yourself.
I like physical jobs. I like moving my body around. I like testing it. Lets you feel like you've done something.
