| Quotes: |
I'm half Jewish, but no one believes me because my looks lean a little WASP-y... It's sometimes hard for me to get the roles I'm drawn to.
<br />
<hr>
[on a film version of Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)] No one actually offered me the movie, but while I was working on The Lone Ranger (2013), my agent brought it up and I said, "Nope". I mean c'mon - it's just mommy porn. I'm not going to sit on top of the laundry machine in spin cycle, reading about putting a ball gag in someone's mouth. That doesn't do it for me.
<br />
<hr>
[on filming The Lone Ranger (2013)] I learned to ride a horse through a moving train while firing two pistols, simultaneously. I'm not sure if that's a very applicable skill that I'll be able to use in Los Angeles traffic, but it was fun to get to do it in the movie.
<br />
<hr>
I love art. I used to have a painting of Gorbachev that was given to my family by Gorbachev.
<br />
<hr>
I like reading. I just hate school. |
