Guy Pearce

Growing up, I was a kid pretending to be an adult.

When I go to a movie, I'm always thrilled if I've seen an actor do something and I didn't realize until the end of the movie that that was that person. I love that.

The thrill of coming home has never changed.

A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.

I prefer to be flippant about acting, just in case I'm rubbish.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
