More From Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Even Though I've Had The Body Of Work I've Had, And The Success I've Had, I Do Not Rest On My Laurels Whatsoever.

I Find Actors Who Play Nasty Guys In Movies Are The Nicest Guys In Real Life, And The Opposite Then Goes For Heroes.

Nobodys Perfect. And If You Think They Are, Youre Sadly Mistaken.

I Don't Hang Out With Movie Stars, And You Won't See Me Going To Many Hollywood Parties. I'm Actually Quite Boring.

I Always Think There Will Be That Time That People Will Find Out That I'm Crap At What I Do.

I Like Reading, Going To The Gym, Hanging Out With My Family. That's It.

I Think What Qualitiy Make For Good Directors Is Being Able To Articulate What You Want; It Can Cause Problems With A Lack Of Communication. I'm Not An Actor Who Requires Much Talking To A Director, I Don't Want To Sit Down And Discuss A Scene For Hours And Hours; That Would Bore Me.

I Think All Actors Have Addictive Personalities.

My Mother Said I Was A Star When I Was About Four Years Old. That's All I Need.

I Can Be Intolerably Jealous And I Think That’s What’s Driven Me. My Ambition Knows No End.

I Got Paid 20 Grand For My First Film. And That's The Lowest I Ever Got Paid.

You Go Through Your 20s Sort Of Like A Chrysalis In Many Ways, Stretching Into Your Own Skin And Trying To Bust Out Of A Cocoon.

You Know What I Like To Do On A Sunday Morning? Clean My House. I Really Enjoy It; It's My Ritual. I Require Tidiness, Actually. I Have To Have Everything Spotless Before I Can Relax.

That's A Funny Thing, Fame. People Definitely Do Treat You Differently. When You Begin To Be Successful, People Say, 'don't Go Changing.' Well, That's Easy To Say, But The Fact Is, You Don't Change At All -- Other People Do.

I'm Part Of The Ipod Generation. I Got 10,000 Tracks From All Over The World.

I Didn't Use A Phone Until I Was 14.

A Lot Of My Success Is Because Of What I Look Like. I Know That.

As A Kid, I Spent An Awful Lot Of Time Pretending I Was Somebody Else. I Think Growing Up In The 1980s Wasn't Very Exciting So You Kind Of Create This Secret Life Of An Alternate Person. You Pretend To Be Whatever You Need To Be That Day, So You Live In That Dream World.

I'm A Workaholic. I Also Go To The Gym A Lot - It's My New Thing. Yes, I Am A Compulsive Person.

If I Wasn't So Insecure About Myself I Wouldn't Work As Hard As I Do. I Am Constantly Seeking Approval.

I Don't Live In Ireland, I Live In London With My Girlfriend; And It's Because Of The Globalization Of Our Planet, It's Not Necessary To Live In Los Angeles To Be A Successful And Any Country Is Just An Airplane Ride Away. If There's A Director Who Wants To Meet Me Or If There's Something I Have To Do, I Can Just Hop On An Airplane - The World's Small Now.

I Completely Believe That I Will Produce My Best Work And My Best Work Will Come In My Thirties.

When I Was A Kid, You Listened To A Certain Genre. Now It's Like, "i Love Indie Rock, I Love Hip-hop, Jazz, Funk." Also, We Knew It Couldn't Be The Same Thing Each Year.

You Can Work Well With People That You May Not Get On Well With In Life Because It's A Parallel Realism.

When It Comes To Dreams, One May Falter, But The Only Way To Fail Is To Abandon Them.

You Really Have To Keep People Interested, At All Times, Until The Punch Comes. You Can Do That With A Film That Lasts 90 To 100 Minutes. That's Very Difficult To Do At 160 Minutes.

You Can Give The Greatest Performance Possible, But If You Don't Have A Director Who's Pointing The Camera In The Right Direction And An Editor Who's Editing It Properly, It Doesn't Matter What You Do. The Director And The Editor Are The Most Important People. Not The Actors. Sometimes The Writer Is Important. But If You Don't Have A Good Director, You Can't Have A Good Production.

It Can Take A Long Time For Some People To Find Out How To Ground Themselves, And Film Sets Are An Odd Atmosphere To Do It In - Especially If, Like Me, You Finished School Early.

My Failures Has Helped Me As Much As My Successes.

Celebrity Has Lost Its Value - All You Have To Do Is Go On A Reality Tv Show For Six Weeks And Everybody Knows Your Name.

I Like Being 30. I Wouldn't Want To Do The Twenties Again. They Are Their Own Entity.

For Me, I Felt Bad For People Asking The Questions, Cause You Know Their Boss Sent Them Out Saying, 'get Me Something On Mission Impossible.' And You Ask The Question, And It's Just A Polite, 'i'm Not Going To Tell You.' Then, Every So Often, They'd Go, 'well, Can't You Just Tell Us A Little Bit?' I Have To Say, 'you Know What Guys, I'm Under Contract And I'm Not Going To Tell You Anything.' So You Keep Asking The Questions And I'm Just Going To Keep Smiling. And It's Hard, Cause I Don't Want To Seem Rude, But It's Part Of My Job Just Like It's Part Of Their Job To Keep A Secret.

I'm A One-woman Guy. I Think That If You Can Find Someone You Want To Spend The Rest Of Your Life With, You Should Marry Them Instantly, And Try To Stay Married.

I Could Sing And Play As Well. I've Got Some Brothers; One Of Them Is The Drummer In The Band. They're Good Musicians. I Play For Fun. They Play Properly. Music In General, I Grew Up In A House Of Musicians. Everybody's Life Has A Soundtrack, I'm Sitting Here Talking To You But There Are Horns Beeping Outside. I Know I'm In New York. That's An Element In The Film As Well. How Strong That Sense Can Be.

With A Director It's All About The Work; I'd Work With A Great Director Over - You Know, I'm Not The Kind Of Actor Who That Doesn't Go, 'i Want To Play This Role.' It's More Like, 'i Want To Work With This Director,' Regardless Of What The Role Is Because If It's A Good Director, You'll Probably Find A Good Role Because It's A Decent Film. But A Mediocre Director Will Always Make A Mediocre Movie.

You Really Have To Work Harder To Come Up With New Ways To Play The Scenes.

You Hurt The Ones You Love The Most. Because It Hurts You The Most.

There's Not Much Of A Difference Shooting Something For Tv And Shooting Something For Film; The Difference Is Film Is In A Cinema And Tv Is In Your Home.
