Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.

More quotes by Hugo Weaving
As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.
Hugo Weaving
I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.
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
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.
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.
Hugo Weaving
I didn't get my licence because I wasn't allowed to. But I haven't had a seizure for a long time so I could, theoretically, get my licence. But I'm now just so used to not driving, I'm scared of what I'd do.
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
I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.
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 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
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 certainly don't advocate terrorism as a way of progressing and understanding people, nor do I believe labeling everything as a terrorist act is helpful either.
Hugo Weaving
It's great to blow the image that people have of me out of the water.
Hugo Weaving
I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.
Hugo Weaving
I'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.
Hugo Weaving
I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.
Hugo Weaving
If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.
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
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
I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.
Hugo Weaving
