More quotes by Hugo Weaving
As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.
Hugo Weaving
I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.
Hugo Weaving
Across the board, Australian films need to have a lot more money spent on selling them.
Hugo Weaving
Having agreed to play Elrond, I realized how much had to be worked out about this character: the idea of portraying someone who is immortal, for one thing plus the fact he is noble, wise, powerful, good - and beautiful! I began to think that he was altogether impossible to play!
Hugo Weaving
I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.
Hugo Weaving
I packed coffee once when I lived in Australia, and I just remember going around every day with coffee up my nose and in my ears.
Hugo Weaving
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.
Hugo Weaving
If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.
Hugo Weaving
In a real fight, there ain't no time and you've got to use your wits. If someone were threatening the life of my child, then I'd be a good fighter. If somebody just wanted to steal my wallet, well, maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.
Hugo Weaving
Film has a tendency to be limiting in some way and it shouldn't be. It's a form that can be explored and changed.
Hugo Weaving
I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.
Hugo Weaving
I think I'm much less self confident today. I actually went through a quite painful period because of that thinking that I was completely hopeless. But I think that's something that we all go through at various times of our lives and it was quite a sustained thing with me.
Hugo Weaving
Being in the woods at night is a beautiful thing.
Hugo Weaving
I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.
Hugo Weaving
I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.
Hugo Weaving
As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.
Hugo Weaving
There's nothing like being on a massive-budget film where you don't know anything, and there's a million people, and no one's communicating.
Hugo Weaving
Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.
Hugo Weaving
It's a real pleasure to go to work when you're in the most extraordinary surroundings, and working with people who are young and interested and creatively keen.
Hugo Weaving
Both my parents are English and I was born in West Africa, and I moved around as a kid, lived in Bristol, lived in Buckinghamshire and Surrey as a kid, and then moved when I was 16.
