It's sacred for an actor to keep their personal life personal.
Actors don't necessarily want to be famous or rich or anything else. It's a very bad gamble if that's what you're after.
I'm used to watching old movies of myself.
I could live without acting.... Acting is a gift I've received. And I'm grateful for it and I enjoy it. But it's not the main point of my life. It never was.
I was a big Mickey Rourke fan in his first incarnation. I thought that at the time he was America's greatest screen actor.
You don't need qualifications as an actor or a politician. And I didn't want to be a politician.
The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.
Honestly, puppets themselves are actors effectively. The joy of puppetry is that it is very simple and low-fi, which I love.
My dad and me were incredibly close. He was an actor, and so him and I shared this whole movie-world thing closer than anyone else in the family.
I'm an actor, I worry about everything.
Actor's life is very long.
I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.
I guess just a lively imagination is the best effort an actor can have.
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
I'm an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything else when I was in my early 30's. Most of the people who wrote that who thought they were younger than me are now bald and wrinkled.
For an actor, style comes last. You first have to implement the whole thing, but your style comes from the subconscious, which is the best part an actor brings to his work.
I have never felt brutalized as an actor. Many actors do, some times, but I've never had that experience. If I'm not happy with the balance, I just won't work with that person again.
It's always an inner wish of every actor to reach out to maximum audiences.
I never wanted to be one of those actors with a political agenda.
Models-turned-actors are a bit of a cliché... It is a huge cliché but you have to look at the positive aspects. I learned a lot about the world and took a lot of knowledge away from it.
I mean, I'm an actor. I do what comes along.
If I meet someone at a bus stop, I want to really meet that person. I don't want to be 'Hugh Jackman, the famous actor.'
So to answer your question, Im not entirely sure how I ended up where I am today, in the sense that nobody in my family is an actor. It just happened by mistake.
I don't like to be challenged in the way that often happens, where somebody writes something and then you, as an actor, are expected to really make it up in your imagination. That's not really an ideal way of working.
There's so much I want to do as an actor. I feel like there's so much more that I want to achieve and that I can achieve.
