I don't have a publicist. I don't go to events or self-promote, or endorse things, or whatever it is people are meant to do in that world.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
You fire blanks, but the guns eject real brass, hot cartridges. They're, like, 400 degrees.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I only do the press for the work. I don't have a publicist. I don't go to events or self-promote or endorse things or whatever it is people are meant to do in that world.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
This industry is too bonkers to understand. Every single part is completely different.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
If you are going to have any chance of replicating life, you need to live it.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I find it quite unsettling if I'm doing the same thing that I did yesterday.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I was bullied a lot... doing anything overly well was punished by the kids.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I wasn't interested in football. It made me different. I wore glasses, had bad hair, a funny name, you name it.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I believe in allowing an audience the opportunity to make up their own mind.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
Intrigue is so much more effective. I don't like to be over-prescriptive of an audience. The same with a book or with art - people shouldn't read too much before they explore.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
It's all very brilliant to build bridges and buildings, but long after we're gone, it will be the natural things in this world which will still be here.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
If I make a film about now, the minute it was done, it wouldn't be about now; it'd be about then.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
The most contemporary film I can think of is your standard romantic comedy, but the minute you make them, they already look so aged.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
Some are in it for the money, which is fine. Some of them are in it to be a movie star; that's another reason. Some actors - and this I never understand - will only play likeable characters. And if they're not likeable, they change them to be heroic.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I guess the reason I wanted to be an actor was that it felt like it would offer something different all the time.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
'We' is a difficult word for me. I don't know if I feel 'we' about anything.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I got the 'I don't want the normal job' bug. At home, we have countless career advisors who would tell us to work in department stores and stay below the bar and not overreach our grasp. I didn't believe any of them.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I find dipping one's toe into all of these people's lives is one of the major exciting points of being an actor. This dilettantism.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I love learning things, whether it's a language or Philippine knife-fighting or the Viennese waltz.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I have to be absolutely drawn to the project. If you're ashamed or bored by it at the beginning, it's going to be a pretty nightmarish thing.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I really enjoy the fact that the very boring, normal person that I am isn't kind of interesting to anyone. It's fine by me.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I've never been to war, and I would never presume to fully understand the horrors that that kind of experience can impart.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I'm a big fan of imagination. I think it's the strongest tool we have, and there are some things that you just can't practice.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I never want to overstay my welcome for any character. I would rather people are excited by the ideas a character generates in them rather than feeling bored and wishing he would just go away.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
One of the things I noticed in my career that gave me a lot of happiness early on was realising we don't have any control.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I'm studying Krav Maga, which is an Israeli form of self defense. It's very deadly and without rules.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
What theatre people love about theatre - and I totally understand it, I just don't share it - is that they feel they mint something afresh every night. Because I would rather do something until I've done it and then know it's done. New day, next thing!
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I think saying you're bad at something is rather wonderful because then it doesn't matter anymore.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
When I come home, all I do is cook. I love cooking, so I go to markets, buy food, cook it for friends. I love doing that.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
There are some great actors I don't want to meet because I don't want to know how they did it. I don't want to know anything about their personal life, and the illusion, or whatever it is, the shape-shiftery magic stuff that they do, which is my joy.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
All I would say is that when I've been very down or having kind of a tough time in my life, certain films or pieces of music or books have changed that. They've taken me out of a dark place and put me into a more positive one. And I think that if we can do that for people, then it's certainly worth doing.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I find the English flag - the cross - quite frightening; it has very bad symbolism for me. Not just football hooligans but supremacists and the BNP.
Quote by -Rupert Friend
I was asked by this British band called Kairos 4Tet to write lyrics for them. And I wrote lyrics for them. The album is called 'Everything We Hold,' and you can hear my lyrics.
