I don't want at the end of my life to look back at just a bunch of fictional movies I was involved in that kept taking me away from the real world.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

People talk about the difference between working on stage and working on film. I think you could say that there are as many differences between working on low budget films and working on big budget films. You really are doing the same thing, but at the same time you're doing something vastly different as well.

Whereas 'Avatar' and other movies get shocks out of their three-dimensionality, 'Gatsby' is going to be about inviting the audience into this larger-than-life drama, letting them almost be inside the room rather than looking at it through the window. I think it will really work.
Joel Edgerton -
To me, 'Warrior' was a real turning point - probably one of the greatest experiences I've ever had as an actor on set.

Whenever you're trying to do your own take on a classic piece of literature, it's almost like you're trying to swim up your own stream or drive down your own path.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I had a black belt in Shotokan as a kid.

I love what I do, but it occurs to me I may have handed over a large portion of my life to fiction.
Joel Edgerton -
Whenever you deal with science fiction you are setting up a world of rules. I think you work hard to establish the rules. And you also have to work even harder to maintain those rules, and within that find excitement and unpredictability and all that stuff.

I did my holy communion, and it was amazing how quickly the stories of the Bible and God and Jesus got under my skin.

If I knew my schedule a month ahead, I'd be so bored.

I'd never really imagined myself as an action star.

In Australia, there aren't a lot of people committed to art, so these communities form that are dedicated to music, theater, cinema, but they're very small. So, they tend to move ahead on the power of collaboration, enthusiasm and creativity.

If I'm going to work for twelve hours a day, I want twelve hours of awesomeness!
Joel Edgerton -
I grew up being taught, 'Do unto others as they would do unto you.' I would get scolded for not being polite.
Joel Edgerton -
Australians and the British are very similar: If you try and stand out in any way, and you try to reach for success, someone is gonna be there to cut you down.
Joel Edgerton -
It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.

I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
Joel Edgerton -
You have to stick to what you love and purse that at all costs. Don't choose money first; it won't make you happy.
Joel Edgerton -
I think the life of an actor is glamorous to other people, but then the reality sets in: you don't know where you will be next year or how long you'll be there for.
