Jonathan Rhys Meyers Quotes About Success

That's a funny thing, fame. People definitely do treat you differently. When you begin to be successful, people say, 'Don't go changing.' Well, that's easy to say, but the fact is, you don't change at all -- other people do. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

A lot of my success is because of what I look like. I know that. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Even though I've had the body of work I've had, and the success I've had, I do not rest on my laurels whatsoever. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

My failures has helped me as much as my successes. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Quotes About Life

As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

You can work well with people that you may not get on well with in life because it's a parallel realism. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I find actors who play nasty guys in movies are the nicest guys in real life, and the opposite then goes for heroes. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Famous Quotes And Sayings

There's not much of a difference shooting something for TV and shooting something for film; the difference is film is in a cinema and TV is in your home. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I think what qualitiy make for good directors is being able to articulate what you want; it can cause problems with a lack of communication. I'm not an actor who requires much talking to a director, I don't want to sit down and discuss a scene for hours and hours; that would bore me. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

You can give the greatest performance possible, but if you don't have a director who's pointing the camera in the right direction and an editor who's editing it properly, it doesn't matter what you do. The director and the editor are the most important people. Not the actors. Sometimes the writer is important. But if you don't have a good director, you can't have a good production. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

With a director it's all about the work; I'd work with a great director over - you know, I'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'I want to play this role.' It's more like, 'I want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. But a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

It can take a long time for some people to find out how to ground themselves, and film sets are an odd atmosphere to do it in - especially if, like me, you finished school early. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I don't hang out with movie stars, and you won't see me going to many Hollywood parties. I'm actually quite boring. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I could sing and play as well. I've got some brothers; one of them is the drummer in the band. They're good musicians. I play for fun. They play properly. Music in general, I grew up in a house of musicians. Everybody's life has a soundtrack, I'm sitting here talking to you but there are horns beeping outside. I know I'm in New York. That's an element in the film as well. How strong that sense can be. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I don't live in Ireland, I live in London with my girlfriend; and it's because of the globalization of our planet, it's not necessary to live in Los Angeles to be a successful and any country is just an airplane ride away. If there's a director who wants to meet me or if there's something I have to do, I can just hop on an airplane - the world's small now. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers
