Famous quotes by Peter Sarsgaard:

"I don't care, really, whether the movie polarizes people, Republican, Democrat. I don't think it should. But what's more important to me is that I hope Marines get something out of it. I hope that they feel like we honored them, because we meant to."

"I don't care, really, whether the movie polarizes people, Republican, Democrat, ... I don't think it should. But what's more important to me is that I hope Marines get something out of it. I hope that they feel like we honored them, because we meant to."

"Everyone has their own opinion about what this country is doing. Personally, I wish we hadn't gone to Iraq."

"It's a movie about warriors in search of a war - about what it's like to be part of a well-trained, specialized Marine unit that gears up psychologically and physically for battle and then doesn't fight."

"I've never acted with someone who I knew so well before I started,"

"He just talked about religion in a way that I could hear. It's one thing to have your parents tell you about faith, but to hear it from someone who isn't apparently emotionally vested in you is special."

"I get so happy to see someone like Jodie descend into absurdity and be human."

"When I finished filming and I flew back home to Australia, I really did not want to take that 14-hour flight."

"I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree."

"You want to do something, you want to have the bravery to do something original. And there will always be people who are like, the classicists who are like, 'No, but it's got to have this.' In life, there are people like that attached to every single thing that there is. These are the same people that are like, still playing vinyl."

"It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with."

"Four hours of makeup, and then an hour to take it off. It's tiring. I go in, I get picked up at two-thirty in the morning, I get there at three. I wait four hours, go through it, ready to work at seven, work all day long for twelve hours, and get it taken off for an hours, go home and go to sleep, and do the same thing again."

"If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl."

"I like anything that is like an obstruction, something that I have to act through is good."

"The only way to silence a room that's laughing at you is to sort of take over."

"I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren't the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them."

"If you go in and audition for roles rather than just be offered them, then you kind of get a chance to kind of discover that you can do something that you didn't think you could do."

"I always think change is important in a character. The most dynamic choices that you can make for a character are always the best ones."

"But the way that we've got it organized in our family, we try not to work at the same time, so I'm just now starting to look around. I think I'd like to do a film."
