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

Never send a human to do a machine's job.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

Image
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.

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

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.
