More quotes by Hugo Weaving
The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.
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
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.
Hugo Weaving
I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.
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
Being in the woods at night is a beautiful thing.
Hugo Weaving
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

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
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
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
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
If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.
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
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'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.
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
To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.
Hugo Weaving
I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.
Hugo Weaving
As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.
