Zitat des Tages von Rupert Friend:
I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.
I'm studying Krav Maga, which is an Israeli form of self defense. It's very deadly and without rules.
I went to a drama club when I was little, but it was more of an excuse to flirt with girls than anything else. We never put on plays.
I'm not intelligent enough to be a doctor, and kind of hands down you can't argue with the worth of that. But I don't really have an opinion about the worth of making art.
My auditions for drama school were miserable, but one thing I had on my side, although I had no experience or skill or training, was that I wanted to learn everything.
That routine thing is not comforting to me. It's the opposite to that.
'On the Road' completely changed the way I looked at what you could do with your life.
I think you can decide how much of yourself you're willing to make public.
I find it quite unsettling if I'm doing the same thing that I did yesterday.
Wood is weirdly a big passion of mine. I really love it, all the way from trees to a finished table. The fact that it was alive and that each piece is different.
I think that what drives most of us as human beings is the want for something. You might have a hope, or a big dream, or a goal that you haven't yet achieved.
I really admire artists who take the time to recharge their batteries and not continually call on it. I think you can spot tired and jaded artists quite quickly.
I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.
I think that the process of trying to become somebody else, and obviously the director/actor relationship in trying to do that, is such a weird, undefinable thing.
The more I'm committed to finding a way to genuinely be immersed in someone else's life, the more enjoyment there is in it. I've never been interested in smoke and mirrors and cutting corners. I'd rather just do it for real.
I don't do glamorous things.
'We' is a difficult word for me. I don't know if I feel 'we' about anything.
I would say that being open to new things is kind of vital in this line of work, if not all lines of work, and being prepared to embrace the challenge of the new thing is something I want in my life until the day it's over.
It might look like some incredibly complicated map to get from English period films to American action anti-heroes, but it really is just about not having a plan.
It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.
I only do the press for the work. I don't have a publicist. I don't go to events or self-promote or endorse things or whatever it is people are meant to do in that world.
It's all very brilliant to build bridges and buildings, but long after we're gone, it will be the natural things in this world which will still be here.
Sport is not my thing.
Becoming that guy who does one thing is not very interesting. I'm lucky and proud to have been involved in period films and action films.
One of my uncles took me to my first movie in a cinema - 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.'
One of the things I noticed in my career that gave me a lot of happiness early on was realising we don't have any control.
I'm only really interested in taking a part if it's nothing like me.
The Blue Ridge Mountains are an incredible place.
I grew up in the countryside in the middle of nowhere in England and got out as soon as I could!
Han Solo is more interesting than Superman because he's flawed. Superman's flaw is kryptonite, and that's it. He can make time go backwards, for God's sake, but with Han Solo or Indiana Jones, there's a bit of humanity there.
I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.
I'm not a big fan of people telling each other what to do, I'll say that.
This industry is too bonkers to understand. Every single part is completely different.
I don't love plays. I don't love doing the same thing, every night, for 100 nights in a row.
I've never really thought about settling down anywhere. I like to keep moving.
When I come home, all I do is cook. I love cooking, so I go to markets, buy food, cook it for friends. I love doing that.
