| Quotes: |
[1999] Being a star doesn't last. That's not what life should be about. It's a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing.
<br />
<hr>
[on the one role that got away] I'd have to say Ewan McGregor's part in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was so close. I sang and everything. I went through months of auditions. It was between me, Heath Ledger and Ewan. I think it came down to age and where people were in their careers. I was the youngest and the least known. I would hope it didn't have anything to do with talent. Maybe it did.
<br />
<hr>
I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
<br />
<hr>
In a perfect world, I would love to do one play for every three movies.
<br />
<hr>
The truth is most of the films that make a lot of money no one remembers, and I'm not interested in making films that no one remembers. |
