More quotes by Joel Edgerton
It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.
Joel Edgerton
I can't sing or dance.
Joel Edgerton
The first video I ever watched was on a Beta system because everyone thought Beta was the way but then it ended up being video so we backed the wrong horse.
Joel Edgerton
That's one of the great privileges, being an actor, is that someone pays you and sends you off to learn about something that otherwise you'd never know about.
Joel Edgerton
It feels good to be fit and strong.
Joel Edgerton
Basically you want as many people as possible to see your movie.
Joel Edgerton
I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.
Joel Edgerton
Whereas 'Avatar' and other movies get shocks out of their three-dimensionality, 'Gatsby' is going to be about inviting the audience into this larger-than-life drama, letting them almost be inside the room rather than looking at it through the window. I think it will really work.
Joel Edgerton
There's something nice about making a night of the theater rather than sitting in front of your TV.
Joel Edgerton
North America makes a ton of movies and there's a ton of movies that are exceptional.
Joel Edgerton
I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.
Joel Edgerton
Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.
Joel Edgerton
To act with a tennis ball and imagine it's a tentacle, or if you're in some kind of wilderness film and you go, 'Okay, we can't have a grizzly bear here, but imagine when you step over the rock there there's a grizzly bear.' I don't know. They're tough moments.
Joel Edgerton
Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.
Joel Edgerton
My brother and I are best friends.
Joel Edgerton
There's the pressure of being a No. 1 on the call sheet, being a lead actor. There's almost this feeling like being captain of the team. You want to put a bit of energy into actually setting a good example.
Joel Edgerton
The recipe for any character is always very interesting, as far as what doses of certain qualities you want.
Joel Edgerton
The sum total of all my stop-starts have made me less concerned about the future. I'm just aware now that I'll always land on my feet somehow.
Joel Edgerton
I'm not scared of doing movies that are just about entertainment. I'm not scared of doing movies that are really challenging and cover difficult terrain. I just want good experiences and I want to challenge myself and I want to just keep learning, as an actor.
Joel Edgerton
The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.
