I'm an actor; I want to play roles, not a role.
I would like to play romantic parts.
It makes it fun. When an actor plays a character, you want what that character wants. Otherwise it doesn't look authentic. So I really want to defeat Jimmy - I mean Jimmy as the character.
You must be so thoroughly immersed in the given circumstances of the play, then you decide what it is at any given moment what that the actor wants.
I've been dying to do a Marvel picture for so long.
I've always played nice guys, so I'd love to be someone that creates a bit of confrontation. I know that sounds bad, but as an actor, I want to explore different things.
Amitabh Bachchan's role in 'Deewar'… I'd love to do that if someone does a remake.
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
I don't know the politics of Hollywood. Am I hungry for great material? Every actor is. How I can get to it, that's another story.
Sometimes I go, 'Wow, this is a director I really, really want to work with,' like David Cronenberg. I haunted David Cronenberg for years before, and then he offered me a role.
It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.
Of course, I would like to play the guy next door, but nobody's going to hire me for that kind of role.
I'd love to be in the Bollywood movies. The producers here can call me - collect! I'm a Punjab da munda.
I've always wanted to shave my head for a role because I've wanted to play a character who had a shaved head. I don't know what the fascination is.
I play the lead in 'Dunkirk', a part I was absolutely gagging for!
As an actor, my desire was always to be different, there was a desire to associate yourself with projects that bring about the contemporary situation.
I get a lot of dramas, but I'd like to do a romantic comedy type of movie; that'd be a nice step for me. No more screaming or running or shooting... for one movie where I can just be in love with a boy.
I'd like to do more Shakespeare. I'd like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul.
At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.
I'd love to play someone who's insane or something, just so I can go flake out. I like a superhero. I know that's ironic. That's where we are, but seriously, it'd be really cool to play a superhero.
I'd like to do a really masculine film.
An actor always wants to sink his teeth into something.
I'd love to do something a little different than 'Ted.'
Every actor's deepest desire is to reach a huge audience. So, I don't look down upon commercial cinema... there's a beauty in it that you understand sooner or later.
I won't complain, but I don't want to just be doing action films and extended character transformations, you know? I want to explore, and I'm up for anything. Honestly, I just want to read a good script and fall in love.
