I love filming in New York. I love New York movies, too. I just like it when people can take New York and make it their own, because there are so many different New Yorks.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I've seen people, where if they have to wait around the set for three hours, and they call you at the wrong time, and they're not ready for you, some people don't like that.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I don't want my learning curve to be stunted by just all of a sudden doing work all the time and not being careful about the work that I'm doing.
Quote by -Paul Dano
People have asked me about playing outsiders. I don't consider myself an outsider. Maybe that's why I'm interested in that. I'm not really sure.
Quote by -Paul Dano
As an actor, the toughest thing is being subject to circumstance. Meaning: What scripts are out there that are available?
Quote by -Paul Dano
It's a funny thing. You sort of never figure it out with acting. You're always learning.
Quote by -Paul Dano
One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday.
Quote by -Paul Dano
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.
Quote by -Paul Dano
The whole being-in-a-room interview thing, at a junket or a film festival, is very inhuman. You meet the person, have five or 10 minutes to talk, and it's not like a conversation.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I can obviously relate to a character who is an artist, because the creative process is a big part of my life.
Quote by -Paul Dano
The way Hollywood works, you're never sure if their first thought is to make a great film and honor the material or just another business property.
Quote by -Paul Dano
You try to get to know your character as best as you can before you start filming - what's written and not written.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I've definitely been in ruts, and I think having some kind of perseverance is important.
Quote by -Paul Dano
Some projects go as you hope or imagine, and some change or reveal themselves in a different way; it depends.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I think it is important to make sure that I have my real life as well, because Hollywood can certainly seem like an alternate reality sometimes.
Quote by -Paul Dano
You look at the part in '12 Years A Slave,' you finish that script - I mean, it's a powerful story. You go, 'Man, I have to play a bad character in this.' And then you go, 'Well, do I want to play a bad character and contribute to a good story?'
Quote by -Paul Dano
I like listening to my playlist on the iPod. I don't want radio with commercials.
Quote by -Paul Dano
It's a lot of fun to be a part of films that you don't exactly know how they're going to turn out.
Quote by -Paul Dano
When I'm not acting, I like to go home and be really normal. So I usually grow out my hair until I get the next part.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I used to write a lot of songs. I was an English major in college. I was a deluded poet for a year. Totally deluded.
Quote by -Paul Dano
'Looper' was a wonderful script. Rian Johnson is the real deal and a really talented filmmaker.
Quote by -Paul Dano
Have I seen any plays that I've been in? Uh, you know, might be a little weird.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I volunteered at a homeless shelter in preparation for 'Being Flynn,' and when I'm walking along the Bowery, that's the first thing that comes to mind. That's a nice memory.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I really don't want to go to work every day convincing myself of what I'm saying. I want the material to make me a better actor; then I try to return the favor to the material.
Quote by -Paul Dano
A lot of people think I must be weird because of the films I've done. I get that.
Quote by -Paul Dano
The idea of writer's block or not having inspiration is totally terrifying to me.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I think the idea is to try and understand everything about the characters and where the character is coming from, from their point of view, why they say what they do. And not, 'Oh, but I would never say that. Why does the character say that?' But then making it as personal as possible.
Quote by -Paul Dano
In 'There Will Be Blood,' my character was someone who was an actor himself almost. He had a rehearsed quality about him. He was a performance artist in a way.
Quote by -Paul Dano
I would not take a girl to a club on a Thursday. I would not take her to a really noisy, swanky restaurant.
Quote by -Paul Dano
Films can be entertaining without shying away from exploring something. They can be magical and have fantasy, but also can have enough reality that you can be really emotionally invested.
