Jonathan Rhys Meyers's quotes
- Being an actor is the easiest job. Just say the lines.
- There will be ups and downs, but it's important to remember you're on your own beautiful journey and once you're on it you have to see it through to its conclusion and try to never be afraid to do anything because what is the worse that can happen?
- A lot of men are very uptight, but I don't distinguish between male and female beauty. Beauty is beauty.
- I think it is important to stay close to your roots and be true to yourself, be honest. I don't want to play games in Hollywood and pretend to be someone else. I still suffer from insecurity and that situation would make it worse.
- But actors, everything is so physical. You're basically the only product you have. The hardest part of acting is realizing it doesn't matter. I'm going to try and not take it too seriously because, if I do, I would really wreck my head.
- I think I'd really like to be someone who would be known for being a nice guy.
- I've never gone to acting school and I never will, so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting.
- I don't have many friends that are actors. It's a very faux environment. I don't call people up after films.
- I find actors who play nasty guys in movies are the nicest guys in real life, and the opposite then goes for heroes.
- (On Match Point (2005)) It's strange this film was not difficult to make in any way. It was the easiest and most relaxing film I've ever done.
- (On becoming a successful actor) If you want to work, if you want to be successful, you have to struggle, you have to travel. You have to forgo relationships because they don't work, which I've learnt to my detriment. You have to forgo friends.
- I was always going to be different, and everyone knew it.
- The hardest part about acting is realizing it doesn't matter.
- Even though I've had the body of work I've had, and the success I've had, I do not rest on my laurels whatsoever.
- I got paid 20 grand for my first film. And that's the lowest I ever got paid.
- My dad was around a bit, but as a musician, they have to travel the roads.
- I liked traveling when I was younger, now I travel for work. When I was young I just traveled. My plan was to travel, work, travel, work. So I haven't done some of my own traveling for a while, but I will.
