I really enjoy a variety of different work, and what I've just done may sometimes determine what I choose to do next.
Guy Pearce
Image
I can be completely indulgent and spend as many hours and days or weeks as I like on one thing. Writing music and sitting in my studio, just pottering with ideas, it's a lot more personal and creative for me, I don't feel restricted.
Guy Pearce
Image
It's really interesting making films and actually seeing the life that they have in the subsequent years and seeing which ones stand up over time and which ones sort of fade away.

English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent.

You never really know what the director has got in his mind as far as the scene visually and art direction wise, etc. Even if you do, sometimes there's a side of things that don't necessarily gel the way people intend. So there a bit of a mystical entity, film.

Every time you say yes to a film there's a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc.

I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.

I do like a variety of things so I'm always interested in finding something that I haven't done before.

I used to work out in the gym a lot when I was younger. I was a competition body builder when I was 16 or something crazy like that for a short period of time. So, the gym is quite familiar and I know what I'm doing there.

I've not often been a man of many words. I've never considered myself to be overly articulate. I do feel more comfortable acting something out than I do explaining something or whatever.
Guy Pearce
Image
Choosing work is an interesting thing. It's a balance between what's available and what you've always got in the back of your mind - that awful, strange thing that seems to have to exist in this industry, of what will give you exposure.

I don't enjoy movies in 3D. I find I can't engage with the story as well.
Guy Pearce
Image
I feel I do my best work when it's all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I'm not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don't entirely trust what I'm doing.

If you look at the films that I've done generally, you would probably get an idea of what I'm most interested in, and if ever I do something unusual like a science fiction film or an action film or a comedy or something, then that to me feels like a step to the side to do something different.

I don't understand the actor that chooses to play the same role in everything all the time.
Guy Pearce
Image
The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.
Guy Pearce
Image
I think that you can say something in one line with a look that you might need three lines on a page for normally.

I'll have a different answer tomorrow that I do today.

I think a lot of actors take on fun roles and then they're lazy or flippant with them. I just can't do that.
