I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place. I never want to be part of something like that, where there's an agenda there that's not about telling a story, where its someone getting on a soapbox and preaching their own beliefs onto somebody.

From Jeremy Renner

Music I do just for me.

From Jeremy Renner

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

From Jeremy Renner

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

From Jeremy Renner

I was an athlete when I was growing up.

From Jeremy Renner

I was very shy when I was younger. But I did have a terrible temperament. I would get angry very quickly, but the rest of the time I was this big goofball, playing the drums in a band and making out with girls.

From Jeremy Renner

When I was growing up, I wasn't taught how to feel or communicate feelings.

From Jeremy Renner

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

From 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.

From Jeremy Renner

I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.
