The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

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

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.

If a film isn't really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we're probably not that interested in it, actually.
Hugo Weaving
Image
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.

I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.

To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.
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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.
