I never really thought about myself being in really big movies at all. In fact, I always though I'd do, I don't know, smaller movies is not quite the right word, but more character-oriented, dramatic things. I took myself a little bit seriously.
Quote by -Chris Pine
My father calls acting 'a state of permanent retirement with short spurts of work.'
Quote by -Chris Pine
If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?
Quote by -Chris Pine
I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell.
Quote by -Chris Pine
The mass audience doesn't want to see you if you aren't perfect. If you don't look a certain way, if you don't have big pecs and great skin and the perfect eyes. And it's unfortunate, because kids are growing up with body image dysmorphia because not everyone is represented on the screen.
Quote by -Chris Pine
You can be many miles away and press a button on a keyboard, and it can cause devastation.
Quote by -Chris Pine
One thing that I do find really sexy is a girl who's good at crossword puzzles.
Quote by -Chris Pine
There have been, like, three auditions in my life where I feel like I'm in a 'Saturday Night Live' skit.
Quote by -Chris Pine
When I was a younger actor, I was pretty much solely motivated by validation. I just wanted to be told I was good and handsome and a part of the gang. It was pretty simple animal-social stuff. I don't care as much about those things anymore.
Quote by -Chris Pine
The things that motivated me at 21 don't suffice. Which is scary but really liberating in a way. It's taken me a long time to feel like, instead of being invited to the party with a bunch of people I don't know, that I actually deserve to be here.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I had a job at this French restaurant, and I hated it. I don't like serving; I don't like getting people ketchup.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I have such awful skin; it doesn't matter what magic serum they think they're putting on - I'll usually break out.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Action films unfortunately don't let you spend a lot of time sitting. So you don't have much time to create something indelible or unique.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Musical theater is great; you get painted up, you get to play princesses and witches, and you sing. The joy alone of that can really carry a lot.
Quote by -Chris Pine
You see Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson, what they go through, and dude, that's not as exciting as it looks.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I was never much of a musical theater guy, but I have so much more respect for the art form, the physical exertion of doing eight shows on Broadway a week, I cannot even fathom it.
Quote by -Chris Pine
It's so rare to get all of your muscles firing at once. That's what I look for in any role.
Quote by -Chris Pine
From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there's a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Anytime you take on a character... you just have to find the parts of the character that you can understand.
Quote by -Chris Pine
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Mediocrity scares me. It's the fear of not being as good as you want to be. If you give over to that fear, it will sabotage you. As much as I can, I try to use that fear to guide me.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Growing up in a family of actors, what's great about it is that they're very supportive and they understand what it's like to be an actor - the rejections, the highs and lows... and having a common language with them is great because you have shorthand speech.
Quote by -Chris Pine
For me, I love exploring ideas and throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what fits, and if I had a really nice collaborative team around me who could deal with the more day-to-day minutia, that would be fun. And directing sometime in the future and writing... yeah, I can see that all in my future. But I can be incredibly lazy.
Quote by -Chris Pine
It's really interesting that, in 'The Avengers,' the character that people relate to is The Hulk, and I think the reason why they relate to The Hulk is because he's fragile and human and faulty.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I think the most dangerous word in the English language is 'should.' 'I should have done this.' Or 'I should do that.' 'Should' implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I really like the ritual of shaving. I like getting the perfect brush and finding the right sandalwood soap. The act of shaving, though, is not fun. I like beards and the ease of them.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I don't think there's anything less attractive than a man over-dyeing things on his face, so I'm going to try, for as long as I can, to age as my male forefathers before me. My father started getting grays when he was in his 30s, as did my grandfather before him, so I don't want to look perpetually young.
Quote by -Chris Pine
The great thing about theater is that you have so much time to prepare, and to fail, before presenting it to the public. In film, the high-wire act seems to be that much farther up, and the net seems to be less there.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I like a deep sports massage - a casual beating up. I try to get them whenever I can, usually more if I'm getting in shape for a role.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I don't usually read self-help books, but I read a great book by a guy called Wayne Dyer: 'The Power of Intention,' which I loved.
Quote by -Chris Pine
As an actor, it easy to be so self-critical, saying to yourself, 'Am I good enough? Am I good looking enough? Am I smart enough?'
Quote by -Chris Pine
I think the western is about people in harsh places trying to tame an unfriendly wilderness. Because life is defined by struggle, it's kind of the perfect microcosmic experience to explore that. 'Here we are, struggling.' It's about people persevering and persevering and persevering.
Quote by -Chris Pine
If I had let myself off the hook in college, I could have enjoyed myself a lot more. Knowing that I can't have those years back, I have learned to get the most out of living in the now.
Quote by -Chris Pine
I think the great thing about the Jack Ryan films is that the plot and the story always take center stage. If you've done your job as the actor portraying Jack Ryan, you are present enough to make an impact, but you let the story shine.
Quote by -Chris Pine
You either listen to the naysayers and fall into the pit of self-loathing, or you stay on the path and move forward.
Quote by -Chris Pine
After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.
Quote by -Chris Pine
The more you are positive and say, 'I want to have a good life,' the more you build that reality for yourself by creating the life that you want.
Quote by -Chris Pine
Critics think we try to make bad films. They think we want to spend five months of our lives making something bad. We always go out with the best of intentions, whether it's fluffy comedy or a drama.
Quote by -Chris Pine
For me, fragrances are very - one of these beautiful art forms that bring about a whole host of things. It's what you want to smell like, it's memories that make you smile or are resonant of times in your life, it can remind you of music. If you're a lover of scent, it's a very kind of particular and evocative thing.
