Guy Pearce is very precise and clear about understanding the rhythm and the music of a scene.

People are losing jobs, people need to be entertained, and I want to make movies that parents and children can look forward to seeing, that can become a kind of family ritual.

For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.

My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.

It's amazing marrying someone who wants nothing to do with Hollywood.

There is a misperception, if you will, in critical response or even in Hollywood, that I can only do exaggerated characters. Or what they would call over-the-top performances. Well, this is completely false.

The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.
