If you've done what you need to do, you need to go bury yourself, because what else are you going to do? I think that that's where life stops.

More quotes by Rutger Hauer
I think one third of my work is with first-time directors because I think I should, you know? Really, the difference between a first-time director and a second- or third-time director - I mean there's no director who makes enough movies anyway - but if they're talented, they have it. And there is no movie that is perfect.
Rutger Hauer
I don’t make the decision about what percentage of good guy or bad guy I play. For some reason, if I put my energy into the bad guy, that scares people. It’s magic.
Rutger Hauer
It doesn't matter who's directing, or who's doing the movie there are a ton of things that can go wrong, and they do all the time. So you just have to figure out how to get through it, and then how the director finally puts it together, and then see what the audience takes from it. That's the most important thing to me.
Rutger Hauer
I run I am a coward at heart. I swear, when I smell violence or aggression the coward comes out in me. I have no desire to fight anybody except myself.
Rutger Hauer
Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it gladly. Because there is no work, love, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave.
Rutger Hauer
I've seen attack ships on fire on the shoulder of Orion, I've seen moon beams glisten at the Ten hauser gate, all those memories, lost like tears in the rain.
Rutger Hauer
Then he releases a dove and dies while sitting in a rain storm
Rutger Hauer
I don't mind reminding people it's a movie, or that you're telling a story. Everybody knows this, but for some reason, we want to be real. I don't get it, I like the fakeness of my craft. I don't think the audience minds-they all know we're making a movie.
Rutger Hauer
The funny thing is most people don't approach me because they are scared, and that's fine, I want to keep it that way. But the thing is if you're not scared or get over it you learn that sometimes what you're scared of is really what you shouldn't be scared of.
Rutger Hauer
I don't want to tell them what to take away from a movie, I think a movie should tell that.
Rutger Hauer
Maybe you'll end up like me, a hobo with a shotgun.
Rutger Hauer
I hate guns, I think they're the worst thing ever invented.
Rutger Hauer
Most of the real bad guys in the world are people like you and me they're not stupid, and you can't smell their horns.
Rutger Hauer
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Rutger Hauer
People think if you're a movie star, you're the boss. But first of all, I'm not a movie star, I'm in a very different place. I'm not looking to do what I want - I am looking for what we can find. It's a creative process.
Rutger Hauer
I hate acting when I see it. I don't want to feel it, I don't want to see it, I want to be taken away with the story - I don't want the actor's ego in front of me. That's what I try to live when I do the work.
Rutger Hauer
Martial arts is like dance. It's so beautiful and what I love about the martial arts mostly is that what it basically says is you take their energy and you redirect it. Then if you need to, use it on them. That whole thing about redirecting energy I love.
Rutger Hauer
By not going to school I learned that the world is a beautiful place and needs to be discovered.
Rutger Hauer
I think I'm an actor. You can hire me. I can do a good job. But you also have to get lucky now and then. Every film-maker knows how hard it is to do a good film. You have to just make many, and see how lucky you get.
Rutger Hauer
