More quotes by Christian Slater
The movies I've made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I've had to play has been me in that time in my life.
Christian Slater
If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.
Christian Slater
I don't like to be walking around in a vacuum, lost in my own thoughts. I'm much better with information.
Christian Slater
I've been taking my time now between projects looking for stuff that has a little bit more substance, that isn't surface. Some of the films that I've done in the past really were surface.
Christian Slater
I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.
Christian Slater
I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.
Christian Slater
How do I feel about being a star now? Well I still try to live life and enjoy what I am doing.
Christian Slater
There's something about doing theatre in London - it sinks a little bit deeper into your soul as an actor. It's something about the tradition of theatre, about performing on the West End stage.
Christian Slater
If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?
Christian Slater
This is what Hollywood tends to do. It tends to disregard tradition, history and anything factual, twisting it and turning it and making it all okay regardless of what the English may think of it.
Christian Slater
That is the responsibility of the artist, of the actor, to inhabit these roles and put on somebody else's shoes. It's the responsibility and the gift of what it is I get the opportunity to do.
Christian Slater
It's the obvious thing to say but artists want to be able to tell all kinds of stories and tear down every kind of wall, to look at ourselves and examine who we are and just get deeper insights into what makes us human beings. Anything that could possibly prevent that in our near future horrifies me to no end.
Christian Slater
I had such a good time working with John Woo and John Travolta, and it was so professional. I want to work with people who are real professionals.
Christian Slater
As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.
Christian Slater
The extreme always seems to make an impression.
Christian Slater
Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Christian Slater
My mistakes do happen on a grand scale and very public level. They're humiliating, embarrassing. But if nothing bad happens to you, you'll just continue to act ridiculous.
Christian Slater
I have brought a PS2 on set with me before. But games can be really addicting, and that's dangerous. So I tend to keep it fairly limited on a certain level.
Christian Slater
I was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him.
Christian Slater
I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.
