Zitat des Tages von Guy Pearce:
I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.
I don't have many friends.
I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy', because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.
I'll have a different answer tomorrow that I do today.
I am geared towards communicating on a female level.
Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.
On stage, you've got dialogue you've learned. You've got a paying audience. It couldn't be better, you know?
I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.
Doing that hunt scene was really quite demanding. I actually broke a rib during that scene. And then all the scenes after that became quite challenging, just breathing and laughing.
Every time you say yes to a film there's a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc.
I never really enjoyed the fame stuff.
Success comes in waves.
I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.
If I'm exhausted, physically and particularly emotionally, I can't tell what's good and I can't tell what's bad and I'm useless.
I don't enjoy movies in 3D. I find I can't engage with the story as well.
I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I'm working with, or mother, if I'm working with a female, or it can be confused.
When I go to a movie, I'm always thrilled if I've seen an actor do something and I didn't realize until the end of the movie that that was that person. I love that.
The movie industry is very competitive, and if you're like me and you suffer from your own insecurities about whether or not you're any good, that can be troubling.
I grew up with such an affinity to cats. I adore the way that they think and operate.
The majority of people who join law enforcement are doing it for good, moral reasons, but then there are the few who get through, where you go, 'Whoa, hold on a second. What's this guy doing here?'
Funny enough, if you are looking at people these days who are putting Botox in their face and getting all sorts of plastic surgery, we look at them and go, I can tell you've had Botox. I can tell you've had plastic surgery. You look really strange to me. But no one's saying anything. We're just accepting the fact that they're strange-looking.
When you're promoting a film it's really interesting trying to gauge what people think about it.
I wish I had the ability to crack wise, generally. You know, without getting punched. There's no way I could do it while getting beaten up. Definitely.
Working on films where the money's more important than the creativity, I just get a bit freaked out by that. I just don't feel comfortable.
I suffer from overheating quite easily.
I'm constantly trying to be as original as I can.
