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.

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.

You meet these people who are confident all the time. They annoy me. And I wonder if it's because I'm envious or if it's because they're shallow.
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.

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.

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 understand the actor that chooses to play the same role in everything all the time.

Most of the time when I'm in Australia I'm not really working, it seems. I'm just at home, getting on with renovating my house or writing music or whatever. So I get back to doing all the stuff that I naturally do. Whereas if I'm away working, that's all there is to do, is to concentrate on the work.

You never really know what the director has got in his mind as far as the scene visually and art direction wise.
Guy Pearce
Image
I do like a variety of things so I'm always interested in finding something that I haven't done before.
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
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.

I'm constantly trying to be as original as I can.

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

You do feel kind of nervous about any film you take on.

There's a sense of humor within the Australian culture that prevails when one is in a rather difficult situation.
Guy Pearce

Memory isn't the facts, it's just a record you keep to yourself. With the facts, memory is useless.
Guy Pearce

I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.

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.
