Alex Pettyfer

I think most actors are insecure and scared of rejection.

Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.

I've always been the guy that loved being scared or loved having pressure on me, because I always wanted to prove myself wrong and always wanted to prove that I could do it.

The splendid empire of Charles the Fifth was erected upon the grave of liberty.

I discovered John Fante when I was 17 years old - strangely, not through Charles Bukowski, but through William Saroyan, who was his drinking buddy.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
