Benjamin Walker

My dad is kind of a rascal, like in a Dickensian sense. He just goes from career to career.

The place I feel most at home is when I have health insurance. I really don't care how I get it, whether it's on film, or television or waiting tables, you know?

I went to Julliard and we did a lot of mask work there, and I remember thinking in class, 'When am I ever going to use this?'

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
