Both villains and heroes need to have a steadfast belief in themselves.
I keep trying to define 'poetry,' but it's so difficult.
It's interesting sometimes when an audience can empathize with a villain.
Interviews are good if you want to be an actor because they raise your profile.
Celebrities become excluded from everyday life, kind of in exile in an echelon that is deemed better, anyway: Life of celebrity, all the fame and glamor.
I try to be a nice person, but it's difficult sometimes.
I believe that communal admiration of individuals is healthy for society. It facilitates, in one way, the base of our universal standard, morals, but also publicly espouses the virtue of certain practices that are kind of like 'inherently good' in some kind of ideas of what the good is.
Celebrity is seen by a huge amount of people and certainly myself for a while as the pinnacle of society, of success. It is revered almost religiously, both the institution and its quickly growing member base.
I've never seen anyone die. It's hard to imagine what it would be like.
I think audiences will always like bad guys who kill for no apparent reason. We just like to hate them.
I'd like to be an academic, a philosophy lecturer if possible. I'd do a Masters in Ancient Hebrew maybe, and a Ph.D. hopefully, if I get in.
I'm happy to sacrifice a big pay cheque for my happiness, if that's not too corny a thing to say. It's probably more naive than mature to say that, maybe, but that's how I feel.
I find it slightly uncomfortable to see my face on a bus or a poster. I like just being known by my friends and family.
If I were to have a dream job, it would probably be a poet. Then again, I don't think I'm a very good poet!
I've been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.
When you make a living from something, it changes your relationship with it.
Having one's image, and effectively, life, democratized, dehumanizes and sometimes objectifies it into an entertainment product. What sort of valuation of the ego would one have once you've let it been preyed upon by the public for years and years? Perhaps, it becomes truly just skin and bones.
I read my sister's diary when I was 7. She was, I think, 13. It was awful to read it.
The lifestyle that comes with being an actor in a successful TV show isn't something I gravitate toward.
I wanted to be an academic when I was 19 or 20. But, I've gone off that idea. The lifestyle is kind of lonely and isolated. I don't think that would suit me.
