“I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.”
“I went to this massive co-ed school for the first time when I was 16. Everyone there had been together since elementary school, and I found it quite difficult, especially when I’d never stepped into a classroom with boys. So I started looking out in the community for a social outlet. I started getting involved in student films and community theater. Acting began as a hobby.”
“You realize it’s because the work you’re doing is good, so people appreciate that, but I have to be honest, I really try to stay away from it. I think that if you start to think of yourself that way, it can really start to mess you up and get you in ego-maniac-ville, so I really try not to be aware of it as much as possible.”
“I often stop when I’m doing something, in the middle of rehearsals or some other job, and I try to take a minute to think "Okay, this might be as good as it gets, so drink it in, appreciate it now”. So far, I’ve been lucky because another job has always come along to equal the last.“
“I am still looking for parts that will define me as an actor, with which I can create my screen persona. Something with substance, something that even brings the innermost out of me.”
“The overall story, definitely. That’s the film. That’s what makes it. You can have a lot of great actors and a bad story and it’s not going to be a good film. If you have a good story with unknown actors, it can still be beautiful and sometimes even more so.”
“I need to feel like I’m doing some kind of good. It sounds cheesy, I know, but I feel like I have a really big guilt complex and that if I’m not doing any kind of good then there’s no real reason for being. I believe that doing movies like this is positive because they can inspire and be entertaining.”
“For me colour blindness feels like you haven’t really been taught colours particularly well, so a dark blue I’ll think is a purple and a purple with lots of whites in it I’ll think is a blue. Particular tones of green and brown and red become confusing.”
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don’t we break the rules already?
