The Spanish love their paella, and they love their jamon. And they love their football.
-
It's great for the community to provide so much for the homeless.
-
I'd change nothing in my career path. I was never built for being a handsome teenage star. That's just not in my psyche, I think. I would have hated to have grown up famous.
-
Look at a guy like Ian McKellen, who is eighty or whatever, and he's just loving his work, and you can see that in the work. That defines what type of actor you are. And what kind of people want to work with you. And whether you can do this job for a long, long time.
-
In terms of publicity and interviews, well, it's really hard in this modern world to keep a sense of mystery.
-
My favorite part of any project is the preparation. It's where you get to meet the people, the experts.
-
My favorite part of the film business is the research part, with the access we get from people who are excited to be involved and the things we get to see and do, which we're not normally going to get in everyday life.
-
With acting, you do want to get every job, and you're trying to get every audition, but then you reach a certain stage where you start to kind of gravitate toward the stories and the people that have a similar heartbeat.

Phillip Noyce was not just good to me but an inspiration to me.

As an actor, the first thing you learn in drama school is you never judge.

I'm glad to have grown up in the countryside and played, and had to use my imagination rather than a TV and had to learn to act the hard way, to have dealt with the rejection. It's a life as well as a job, at the end the day, we all have to work for a living, but we have to have a life as well.
-
I'm not against anybody - everyone does what they need to do.
-
Europeans have it better than the Americans. The Americans work too hard. The balance is out of whack. Europe's hung onto a little bit more of living a life and then working as well.

We're a very judgmental society.
-
I was particularly happy to do a potential franchise where I was not putting on a mask or a pair of tights.
-
My father was a sheep shearer, so I grew up in a caravan; we'd go around from shearing shed to shearing shed. My mother always wanted us to be educated, so I went to a school.
-
At the end of the day, I'm an actor. I'm not here to sell other stuff or use off-screen things to generate whether or not I work. If I'm any good, I'll work; if I'm not, I won't.
-
I believe it's worth observing terrible things people have done as clearly and rationally as we can to show that our monsters are not caricatures.

I love a good wool suit, and I appreciate the fact that it's a natural fiber. I know where it comes from, and I know how it's bred. And it's built to last. It breathes, and it feels good.

'Zero Dark Thirty' raised the stakes. It raised the stakes in cinema, man. I don't think people really know how to grasp what type of film this is.
-
Your voice is important - it gives away everything about you. The mouth is a muscle you have to work like you'd work at the gym.
-
The whole business of being an actor is to explore, from research to shooting to why you do it. You're trying to see why people do what they do and how it feels to do what they do.

I can remember very clearly sitting in a little room in my apartment going, 'You know what, Jace? I think it's time to go back to university.'
