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.
From Jonathan Rhys Meyers
That's a funny thing, fame. People definitely do treat you differently. When you begin to be successful, people say, 'Don't go changing.' Well, that's easy to say, but the fact is, you don't change at all - other people do.
As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.
I want to do really good things with my life.
The hardest part about acting is realizing it doesn't matter.
I got paid 20 grand for my first film. And that's the lowest I ever got paid.
I like being 30. I wouldn't want to do the twenties again. They are their own entity.
I completely believe that I will produce my best work and my best work will come in my thirties.
When little kids come up to me, I'm a fully-grown adult, and that's always weird to me.
You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon.
