Zitat des Tages von Chris Pine:
Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.
I've seen what can happen to an actor when he's just working for the sake of working. All of a sudden it's ten years later, your career's happened, and you haven't had any control.
More than anything, what we do as actors is to sit and watch, and I would never want to get so lost in the celebrity bubble I couldn't do that because my feet no longer touch the ground.
The customer is not always right.
I think the great thing about the Jack Ryan films is that the plot and the story always take center stage. If you've done your job as the actor portraying Jack Ryan, you are present enough to make an impact, but you let the story shine.
With Facebook and Twitter, everyone wants to publicize their innermost truths.
Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble. A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and... you deserve it.
I work out because that's my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you're thinking of anything else, you're not working intensely enough.
I'm more cerebral than I want to be.
I like kind of natural, woodsy earth tones. I like patchouli. I like tobacco. I like sandalwood. I like tree resin. I'm not a huge fan of citrus - I like things that are kind of moodier and... more deeper base notes.
There are going to be good times and bad times, but lighten up.
Fear runs our lives. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to understand your relationship with fear. Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.
When I'm kissing someone, I don't want to feel as though I'm rubbing off all the makeup that's on their face or messing things around. I think natural is better.
Sometimes I think I need to get crazy. Go to Vegas.
I'm always calculating what I want to do, who I want to be, what I want to accomplish. I don't need to worry about that - that's always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.
I really don't get recognized much.
Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
My father calls acting 'a state of permanent retirement with short spurts of work.'
Theater will always be a huge part of my life. The high I get from doing theater is not, quite honestly, matched by many things. I like the fact that when you step out on the stage, for that given night, for better or for worse, you are the master of the boards. I love it to death.
My go-to line when it's the resume game is that I'm either Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds.
If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?
After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.
Growing up in a family of actors, what's great about it is that they're very supportive and they understand what it's like to be an actor - the rejections, the highs and lows... and having a common language with them is great because you have shorthand speech.
I don't think there's anything better than talk therapy.
I don't know any kid that's not afraid at some point going to bed with the lights off, totally. That's why they make nightlights.
The first audition I went out on was because my father was on an audition for a TV show called the 'Gilmore Girls,' and that kind of snowballed a lot of stuff in my life.
'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.
I have worked hard to get where I am.
In high school, I once sang 'Let's Get It On' and 'Brown Sugar' with a band that included my English teacher and my math teacher.
On red carpets, as people throw questions at you, you try and answer as quickly as possible.
I talk to myself, especially in the car.
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
I love architecture.
'Me' time is just as important as 'us' time.
I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.
