Martin Henderson Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Martin Henderson:

It's harder in the States. I'm much more inclined to get offered things that are a lot straighter and heavier and dramatic. And they go by looks, too. If you look like a leading man, then that's what they will consider you for.

My mom sent me money for a car, but the cops impounded it because I had no insurance.

Martin Henderson

It's a tough accent. It's difficult for actors who are not Kiwis.

Martin Henderson

Heath, I believed in him when I first met him, and helped and supported him. He went on to obvious success in the States and then I had him support me. It can be a lonely, horrible, hard place. It's great just to have someone to call to say 'I know, man, I was there'

Martin Henderson

I've become a lot more relaxed about my career, but maybe that's a part of growing up. I realise there are things I hold dear and value, aside from professional achievements.

Martin Henderson

Alex O'Loughlin is an old friend. Actually, when he first came to L.A., he stayed at my house.

Martin Henderson

I try not to invest time in what other people think of me.

Martin Henderson

I always thought I'd go to university and then get a real job, you know. Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I'm still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants.

Martin Henderson

I think it's part of my personality - I love to travel; I love different cultures and philosophies and perspectives on things.

Martin Henderson

I went to New York for a while before I moved to L.A., and I was very clear that I didn't want to do TV. For a decade, basically, I didn't even entertain the idea.

Martin Henderson

With a thriller, you're going to have your red herrings, as different suspects are thrown up as possible culprits. You can only explore that for so long - if you do that more than a few times, it starts to get a little redundant.

Martin Henderson

I don't even know who my character is in 'Grey's.'

Martin Henderson

I'm never entirely happy. That's just part of my personality, and I just have to accept that.

Martin Henderson

I think I'm fortunate as an actor in that I do seem to get opportunities to play roles that aren't necessarily typical of what I've done before.

Martin Henderson

The accent got lost somewhere along the way. I'm a little embarrassed about it. When I arrived in LA I assumed I'd be able to put on the American accent. It proved difficult so I had six months working with a dialect coach and it's become a habit.

Martin Henderson

I think mine's such a mish-mash now: I get criticised for sounding like a Yank when I come home, and everybody thinks I'm Australian when I'm in America.

Martin Henderson

Most horror films fail to scare me. I think 'The Ring' plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.

Martin Henderson

As soon as I got off the plane in L.A., I heard they'd cast the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and that it was all being shot in New Zealand! That was pretty ironic.

Martin Henderson

When you're doing a one-man play, you maybe rehearse for a month, and then you're just doing it an hour or two a night.

Martin Henderson

Definitely, I'd love to do more in New Zealand if it was the right time.

Martin Henderson

It is a little weird now, going over to Heath's place. It's like, 'Hi Heath, hi Nomes.' Very strange!

Martin Henderson

I'm not in a real rush to be a big star.

Martin Henderson

My mother was a product of World War II. My grandfather was on leave in Edinburgh when he met my grandmother.

Martin Henderson

Most horror films fail to scare me.

Martin Henderson

It's a great challenge to come from little New Zealand and beat the odds in Hollywood.

Martin Henderson

There's something incredibly primal about facing something treacherous but doing it anyway.

Martin Henderson

It's harder in the States. I'm much more inclined to get offered things that are a lot straighter and heavier and dramatic. And they go by looks, too. If you look like a leading man, then that's what they will consider you for.

Martin Henderson

During the shoot, when you're not at work, you're learning lines for the next shoot, and that can be all-consuming.

Martin Henderson

'Little Fish' has reminded me why I fell in love with acting in the first place.

Martin Henderson

You are constantly looking for ways to do something you haven't done before, whether it's a particular role or doing theatre. As a person, I'm really open to experience.

Martin Henderson

What's exciting about Sundance is that they're making a name for themselves in this boutique television niche world, and there's energy behind that.
