I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.

I was raised Catholic, and I remember in all the pamphlets and pictures we'd look at, Jesus was basically blonde with blue eyes. He kind of looked like Jared Leto.

I'm a pacifist.
Joel Edgerton -
I really like kids.

I wanted to make a redemptive thriller that didn't end with some kind of big, crazy shootout and blood spill, but more of a collision of ideas and a discussion of ethics.

Particularly when you're making a movie of a book, people are always waiting with their knives - you know?

I do know one thing: it's best not to read the Internet.

Part of the privilege of being an actor is the people you get to work with.

Having rain on your tuxedo is a pretty good reminder that you're not James Bond.

One wrong move, and you destroy your career.

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.
Joel Edgerton -
The downside to making movies at a gallop like we did with 'Wish You Were Here' is that we're shooting four or five scenes in a day, and it's very exhilarating, but you worry at the end of the day that you missed some details because you were moving too quick, and you just gotta trust and be ready straightaway.
Joel Edgerton -
I'm a great believer in not sitting around waiting for the right part to come around, but jumping in and building it for yourself.

I'm not saying I'm a family guy, but maybe that's what people see in me: some kind of paternal quality.

I always kind of aim with the action stuff to make it feel like, as an audience member, you're experiencing what the people are experiencing.

I would have happily done 'Bourne Legacy,' but a lot of decisions are made for you.
Joel Edgerton -
I just love good movies. And not every movie you're going to end up in is always going to turn out right, but at least walk into it with the right intention.
Joel Edgerton -
There's a stage where you're desperate to get a job, and you're waving your hands in a sea of nothingness, going, 'Please, please, please! I'm over here - give me a job!'
