I often put any project I write in a different decade just to roll the thought around in my head. There's a thriller I've written that I think would be nice to set in the '70s or '80s, just to take cell phones away from the movie. There's nothing like the piercing ring of an old-school telephone to really scare an audience.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
When I was young, I had a very clear point of view on things in life, on moral questions. There was a black and white viewpoint on my world. As I've gotten older, I see the grey areas appear.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I have this theory that alpha males are actually not alpha males. They're actually very scared - particularly scared of competition from a lot of men.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Where does guilt and punishment lie, and are we not more expressive over remorse or guilt when other people see the badness in us?
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I think the life of an actor is glamorous to other people, but then the reality sets in: you don't know where you will be next year or how long you'll be there for.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I did my holy communion, and it was amazing how quickly the stories of the Bible and God and Jesus got under my skin.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Some people are really good at playing the movie star - they are really good at cultivating that mystique - but I'm not really into that.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Some of us are better at owning the responsibility of our actions than others.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I've never seen a film get away completely unscathed like I have 'Animal Kingdom.' There's not a single bad review that I've read of it yet; all through Sundance, all it got was high praise.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I'm pretty skeptical about Hollywood and its fascination with the sequel and the franchise.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I've signed four autographs for Sam Worthington in L.A., and I haven't told any of the people that I'm not him.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I operate under the theory that all publicity is good publicity, and then, if that theory doesn't work, you just say that any newspaper article ends up on the bottom of the parrot cage. But, of course, you can't line a parrot cage with Internet bloggers, can you?
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I did have someone tell me that I looked like Conan O'Brien. I was like, 'What?'
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
It's easier to play aggression and malevolence onscreen, often, than to hit softer notes.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don't see why a movie can't make a lot of money and also be good.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Actors want to act; actors want to emote. It's like the emotional equivalent of tearing your shirt off and screaming to the heavens: you want to express, and you want to be seen to be expressing.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I think the great thing about religion is it's there to teach us the good path and that we're all equal, that we should be treated as such.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Particularly when you're making a movie of a book, people are always waiting with their knives - you know?
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I came out of high school, where my heroes were, like, Michael Jordan and a lot of local rugby players - and on the movie front, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I would have happily done 'Bourne Legacy,' but a lot of decisions are made for you.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Gavin O'Connor, I'd walk into a fire for that guy. He's a brilliant filmmaker and a passionate man.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
If I'm going to work for twelve hours a day, I want twelve hours of awesomeness!
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I grew up being taught, 'Do unto others as they would do unto you.' I would get scolded for not being polite.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
I had a bit of a martial arts background from when I was a teenager: I did a bit of karate.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
You have to stick to what you love and purse that at all costs. Don't choose money first; it won't make you happy.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Actors are excused from a lot of things, and we get away with a lot... I find it equally interesting and exciting as it is disgusting and bizarre.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
The narrator of a documentary often comes in at the last minute and takes some of the glory they don't deserve.
Quote by -Joel Edgerton
Whereas 'Avatar' and other movies get shocks out of their three-dimensionality, 'Gatsby' is going to be about inviting the audience into this larger-than-life drama, letting them almost be inside the room rather than looking at it through the window. I think it will really work.
