Working on a studio picture, I can't help but be aware of all the political stuff that's going on. I have to work to be able to survive, in a sense.

More quotes by Guy Pearce
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.
Guy Pearce
You do feel kind of nervous about any film you take on.
Guy Pearce
I do like a variety of things so I'm always interested in finding something that I haven't done before.
Guy Pearce
I went through a period where I just wanted to punch everybody. Since then, I've had a lot of therapy and I've figured a lot of things out.
Guy Pearce
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.
Guy Pearce
I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever...I get into a character. 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
I don't have many friends. Most of them are gay and I get on much better with women.
Guy Pearce
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.
Guy Pearce
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.
Guy Pearce
I am geared towards communicating on a female level.
Guy Pearce
Because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.
Guy Pearce
You can have a great time on a film and the chemistry can seem great but then you look at the finished film and it just doesn't quite gel, something doesn't quite work.
Guy Pearce
There's many more films being made in America than there are in Australia. You make four hundred and fifty films a year, we make twenty-five.
Guy Pearce
There's a sense of humor within the Australian culture that prevails when one is in a rather difficult situation.
Guy Pearce
A lot of action characters are a little bit too serious as well. They take themselves a bit too seriously, which I don't find particularly interesting, whereas I like the fact that there was at least some humor in this because really it's a piece of entertainment.
Guy Pearce
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.
Guy Pearce
I reckon it's more of an external perspective that on some level you really can control and dictate how your career's going to go.
Guy Pearce
Just because there are things I don't remember, doesn't mean my actions are meaningless. The whole world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?
Guy Pearce
Australia's not so bad with me, really, people are pretty cool with me at home, but in England it feels a little bit scary.
Guy Pearce
I think when people are repressing things, or burying things, that can manifest in all sorts of ways.
Guy Pearce
