More quotes by Eric Bana
If you're lucky enough to be involved in a film that's about something very real and that you hope will continue to hold up in 20 years' time it just gives you more energy and makes it feel all the more worthwhile.
Eric Bana
But it's healthy - whatever you can do to keep you fresh and awake. Acting's such a ridiculous job and sometimes you need to look at it like that to get a sort of degree of freshness.
Eric Bana
I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.
Eric Bana
I'd say I'm the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it amusing always appealed to me.
Eric Bana
I've always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films.
Eric Bana
I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what's going on around you.
Eric Bana
I've had frustrated storytelling juices that have been lying dormant for a long time, and I guess the documentary was a way of me telling a story that I felt most qualified to tell. And I loved it, and I'd love to do something else someday, probably more narrative-based. But I'm in no rush.
Eric Bana
The notion of people commenting on you, the notion of people saying things about you, people liking or disliking you and getting into your business, has become more of a reality for the general public over the last years, as people have dipped further into Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and social media.
Eric Bana
Without a doubt, rowing is the hardest thing you can attempt to learn in a short period of time.
Eric Bana
I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.
Eric Bana
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.
Eric Bana
My chosen exercise is cycling. I just love it.
Eric Bana
There's a plethora of wonderful documentaries. I made a point of not looking at anyone else's portrayal of Henry because I think it would have been too confusing - so I've got a lot of films to look forward to.
Eric Bana
If a great comedy landed on my doorstep, I would find it hard to say no.
Eric Bana
I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.
Eric Bana
It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.
Eric Bana
The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.
Eric Bana
I don't consciously seek out Australian projects. I put them on the same table as all the other scripts and I wouldn't ever do a film just because it's been shot at home.
Eric Bana
I usually befriend the camera department very early on in the film and drive them nuts. I'm constantly bombarding them with questions and going through the stills photography. A film set is a great place for me and I love it.
Eric Bana
When I was a kid, I would do stupid things on my bike. I'd jump any ramp, I'd jump over people, I'd jump over things - always crashing, never hurting myself badly but always wanting to take physical risks.
Eric Bana
