I've had some pretty awful jobs that I don't miss, like working on a nightclub door, or compiling VIP lists at 3 A.M. in the morning, but sometimes it's just got to be done.

Most men have an insecurity of some sort. But we're brought up to believe that we can't show them.

People come up to me in pubs - gay pubs, mind you - and can't believe that I'm gay.
Luke Evans -
I always wanted to get into proper shape.
Luke Evans -
A longbow takes a massive draw for the arrow to go anywhere.
Luke Evans -
It was very weird because for a long time no one really recognised me from my films, but 'The Hobbit' has totally changed that, and I've had some really special moments, especially with youngsters.
Luke Evans -
I've always had quite long canines. It's a very strange thing. My parents don't have them.
Luke Evans -
In theater, you sometimes can only do one or two jobs a year because they're long periods. In film, you can shoot so many. It's quite interesting.

When I was focusing on theater, I would go on for months without any work and could hardly pay the rent.
Luke Evans -
I guess maybe directors see a face that seems to have been lived in. I know that my face has been lived in, yeah.
Luke Evans -
I used to take my car and go down to the South Island for five or six days and climb glaciers and jump out of planes and jump off bridges and go white water rafting - a bit of thrill-seeking.
Luke Evans -
I love to sit down on a beanbag at the end of the day and watch my fish. It's therapeutic, isn't it? They're alive, and I'm keeping them alive. I like the responsibility.
Luke Evans -
Being involved in 'The Hobbit' has been a huge boost for me. It's really put me on the map and helped me be taken more seriously as an actor.
Luke Evans -
I was often looked at as a leper by kids at school because I was a Jehovah's Witness. They didn't like it - you were 'weird'. And on Saturday mornings, you'd be knocking at their doors. I remember standing there with my mum and dad, thinking, 'Oh my God, I know whose door this is, and I'll have to see them on Monday.' It was terrible.

If you're gonna start a story, you start from the beginning, right?
Luke Evans -
I'm not one of those superstitious people.
Luke Evans -
I had a very difficult upbringing.
Luke Evans -
I really loved 'Fast Five.' I thought it was a brilliant movie. I thought it was so well done, well directed. The action sequences were really well thought out. It looked fantastic.
Luke Evans -
Gemma Arterton in 'The Master Builder' at the Almeida - she was absolutely brilliant. Ibsen is difficult and quite hard to follow, but she just brings the stage to life.
Luke Evans -
One thing Tolkien does incredibly well - and this is from a lay person's point of view; I am not scholar or anything - is that you don't have to make an effort to envisage the worlds that he writes about.
Luke Evans
-
I don't need to be super-ripped all year round. That's a pretty miserable way to live your life.
Luke Evans -
Peter Jackson is a wonderful man. He's a great director. He's found his niche in life.
Luke Evans -
I don't comment on other people's opinion.
Luke Evans -
If you decide you want to work in the film industry, you just have to bite the bullet and take other jobs until the proper jobs come in.
