Joel Edgerton's quotes

• [on Smokin' Aces (2006)] I'm not a huge advocate of violence for violence's sake, but what makes this film okay in that regard for me is that it's a heightened reality. It's kind of like Ocean's Eleven on acid - it's hyper-real, cartoon violence.
• 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.
• I have always stuck to my guns about what I want from the work and what interests me. I've never been seduced down the evil path. The path of taking the money.
• My brother and I are best friends.
• 'The Great Gatsby' ticked so many boxes for me.
• There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.
• I'm on the list that I thought I'd never be on. I'm not sitting here thinking, 'God, I might get this part' or 'is it too late for me to play Hamlet?' It's really about: who do I get to work with? There's so many people on that list.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.
• One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.
• 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.
• Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.
• I remember my brother Nash had just directed me in 'The Square,' and I was sitting in Australia going: 'No one's called me about working for ages. I don't know if I'm ever going to get another job.'
• The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you've got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film.
• 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.
• 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.
• I'm a pacifist.
• I can't sing or dance.
• I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.
• It feels good to be fit and strong.
• [Desert island film, book and album?] Maybe just give me the longest film, the longest book and the longest song... and I'll just read/watch and listen to a small piece every day. Parcel it out.
• [What's next?] I'm directing a small movie. Wish me luck. I'm excited and terrified.
• [What moment in your career are you most proud of?] I think one great moment for me was performing on-stage at the Opera House in Henry IV as "Hal." It was the same theatre that I had sat in the audience of when I decided I could maybe be an actor myself.
• [What's your drink of choice?] Vodka. If I have too much of that... my next drink of choice is water.
• [What's been the best advice anyone has ever given you?] Do what you love if you have the luxury of pursuing it.
• [What advice would you give to your twenty-year-old self?] Smoking is for idiots. Put it down. I don't smoke anymore. But did for a while.
• [What song did you wake up to this morning?] No song. By mid-morning I had listened to some Nas though. A collaboration with Damian Marley.
• On the production difficulties on Jane Got a Gun (2015): When you sit down at a great restaurant and you order a meal, it's best that you don't go into the kitchen and have a look at how it was cooked.
