Quote by Sharlto Copley

“There are a lot of people that have marginal powers, like a guy who levitates a little bit off the ground, or someone who can breathe a little bit of fire, or someone that can freeze a little bit of something, if it's really close to him, you say, "Well, what do you do with that? How is that useful?" There is so much of it around you and you're seeing it, it becomes the important thing in society.”

“I meet a lot of young people that want to go into acting because they think of what it will do for them. If that's the case, it can be a very, very painful profession.
