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

I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.

The only reason why I tend to pass on a movie is either I don't think I'm right for the material and can't play it honestly, or because of time constraints with personal things in my life.

As a teenager I was more of an anarchist, but now I want people to thrive and be harmonious.

I was thinking about being more global in my work, which means trying more foreign countries and working with foreign filmmakers, hoping they would give me a new take on my work, a new point of view, reinvent me in some way.

Nobody can make a movie as exciting as Jerry Bruckheimer. When it's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie that it's going to have lots of chrome and gloss, it's going to be sexy, and it's going to be big and fun.

I'm not a trained actor. I'm someone who is autodidactic and learned on my own.
