Hugo Weaving
Image
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

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.

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

I'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.
Hugo Weaving
Image
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
Image
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
Image
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.
Hugo Weaving
Image
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
Image
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.

Across the board, Australian films need to have a lot more money spent on selling them.
