More quotes by Hugo Weaving
Never send a human to do a machine's job.
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
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
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
As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.
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 still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.
Hugo Weaving
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.
Hugo Weaving
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
I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.
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
As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.
Hugo Weaving
To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.
Hugo Weaving
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 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
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 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
The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.
Hugo Weaving
