More quotes by Jeremy Renner
Getting to play with Thor's hammer while he stroked my bow
Jeremy Renner
I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure. And also, I think a lot about what kind of audience there is for the film, what they're looking for and ways to connect with them in the playing of a character.
Jeremy Renner
I like to play unpredictable characters, and I like to be unpredictable in what movie I'll do. I want to skip to work. I don't want to repeat anything. What the future holds, I don't know, but that's what I like. I'll take any risk there is.
Jeremy Renner
I'm consciously aware, specifically with the comic book world, where there's a built-in fanbase. But, there's a little bit of leniency because there are a couple different universes.
Jeremy Renner
Our friendship [ with Don Handfield] has remained all that time, and I'm godfather to his kids, but then when The Hurt Locker came around, I just knew there was a lot of opportunity that was coming in, and just couldn't really manifest any opportunities because things were busy.
Jeremy Renner
Not looking really to do some big giant action movie that's just trying to make a lot of money.
Jeremy Renner
I have a hard time saying no if it's right. I don't say no to say no. I said no when I didn't have a pot to piss in. I still said no to big money jobs because they didn't make creative sense to me.
Jeremy Renner
Barton is a pretty brass tacks kind of guy. Kinda get the job done so I can go home. So I don't think it's very difficult for him to decide.
Jeremy Renner
We had tried to get a couple books that were written about Ray Kroc, and one of the books, we called the publisher. The publisher actually said, Call McDonald.
Jeremy Renner
I know it's a cliche but I never wanted to be famous. I don't believe anybody wants to be famous.
Jeremy Renner
I'm just happy to be working.
Jeremy Renner
Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
Jeremy Renner
So I take a little sleeping pill, pop it and realize nothing's happening - but something else was happening.
Jeremy Renner
Don [ Handfield] was actually one of the first guys I met in town back in '94. He was an actor and a writer and all this stuff.
Jeremy Renner
I'm a simple, simple man.
Jeremy Renner
You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.
Jeremy Renner
Fear is just not a part of my life - so much so that if it's involved in somebody else's life and they're close to me, I won't be around them.
Jeremy Renner
What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.
Jeremy Renner
Building a house is like producing a movie. There's no right way to do it but a lot of wrong ways. You have to be flexible and creative. You have to move fast, be prepared - or it quickly becomes costly.
Jeremy Renner
I think that'll always be there for [Clint] Barton, right? You have real life, and then you have fight life. And that's the character that I love now - discovering that in him makes him a very sort of accessible Avenger. That'll always be there, I'm sure. And it certainly plays in this one.
