As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.
Everyone assumes that novelists are smarter and more interesting. They're generally smarter and more interesting, but they're often very short. So it kind of cancels all the smart and interesting stuff out.
Hamlet is a remarkably easy role. Physically it's hard because it tends to be about three hours long and you're talking the whole time. But it's a simple role and it adapts itself very well, because the thing about Hamlet is, we all are Hamlet.
I am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don't understand me, I'm just completely lost.
I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.
I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.
I live with an 18-month-old Jack Russell named Chicken. He moved in about 15 months ago, and it was very hard at first because I work a lot and he doesn't.
I manage to hide in my movies.
I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood.
I think that for me, I'm in a great place. I work all the time, I hang out in fancy hotels, and I do interviews all day, and I get free coffee.
I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
If I'm doing my job as an actor, the audience knows everything I know about the character.
If you fall in love with somebody you're working with, fine, but wait till your project is over.
It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.
My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election.
Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused.
Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.
There's the private persona and the public persona and the two shall never meet.
You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.
You should never ask actors about politics.
