QUOTES BY Oscar Isaac


I like being like a chameleon who transforms himself with each role.

The better I am at observing moments in life, the better I'll be at showing them in my acting.

A lot of very successful businessmen share some of these sociopathic traits - a lack of empathy, seeing people as commodities, projecting an air of sincerity when everything is actually calculated.

I always like teaser trailers because they don't give too much away, you know? They give just a flavor of what the thing is.

Humans are mutants, everything's a mutant - things that evolve.

Most actors, if you ask them if they play guitar, they'll say they played guitar for 20 years, but what they really mean is they've owned a guitar for 20 years.

I remember the first time my mind was blown by an actor was Tim Curry, because I loved 'Clue' when I was a kid, and then I was watching the movie 'Legend,' and the Devil suddenly smiles, and I was like, 'It's the same guy!' It was a total Keyser Soeze moment.

I started off thinking that I just needed one shot to prove myself, but then I realised that I was only going to learn about acting by doing it.

Our morality is based on so many factors: of where we were born, who we were born to, what values were instilled in us, what values we chose, the way that our lives have shaped us. That dictates so much of what we assume is our morality, and also the culture, all of these things.
