I think when your image become...

I think when your image becomes so big that it's hard for a viewer to see a character, then I think you're in danger as an actor of being unable to perform what you should be doing.

I think any role you need to p...

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.

Across the board, Australian films need to have a lot more money spent on selling them.

As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.

When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

I don't think I'll ever escape...

I don't think I'll ever escape the fact that I don't belong anywhere in particular. I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.

I'm always trepidatious and excited about what I do. I wouldn't choose to do something, unless I am really excited about it.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

The biggest challenge for me, ...

The biggest challenge for me, as an actor, is to be informed, prepared and focused, at the same time. I had to just keep on working, prepping, reading and imagining, all the way through, but the biggest challenge is always to let go of all that and just be open to others. That's what we do, as actor. We play with each other and we stimulate each other, and we have to be prepared to be stimulated by the other. That's always my big challenge.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

A lot of people have a fear of...

A lot of people have a fear of Shakespeare. Even actors do. People are like, 'Oh, I won't go and see Shakespeare because the language is so hard,' but it is. When you read it on the page, you go, 'What?! What does that mean?!' If you go to a Shakespeare play and you've never been, you sit there and go, 'I'm an idiot! I don't get it!'

Film has a tendency to be limiting in some way and it shouldn't be. It's a form that can be explored and changed.

I think I'm a bit of a dreamer. I don't like the reality of life to impinge much on my life.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

We're all outsiders in a way. ...

We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

Having agreed to play Elrond, ...

Having agreed to play Elrond, I realized how much had to be worked out about this character: the idea of portraying someone who is immortal, for one thing; plus the fact he is noble, wise, powerful, good - and beautiful! I began to think that he was altogether impossible to play!

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

When you're battling against t...

When you're battling against the minds of the studios and the money that can go into promoting larger budget films, it's very hard for a very small-budget Australian film to get a look in. You can get critically acclaimed and go to various film festivals around the world, but that doesn't necessarily mean the majority of people are going to hear about it.

Hugo Weaving 57 quotes

In a real fight, there ain't no time and you've got to use your wits. If someone were threatening the life of my child, then I'd be a good fighter. If somebody just wanted to steal my wallet, well, maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.
