“I'm able to lead my life as well as make a film. My wife and my friends and people around me know that I do tend to distance myself a little bit during the making of a film, but I have to, it's a natural part of the process for me because you are indulging in the headspace of somebody else, you are investing in the psychology of somebody else and you are becoming somebody else, and so there isn't enough room for you and that somebody else.” PeopleKnowsWellsLittlesEnoughAbleFilmBitsProcessNaturalRoomsPsychologyWifeBecomingLittle BitMy FriendsDistanceInvestingMy WifeDistance Myself Author:Guy Pearce

“Years ago I met Richard Burton in Port Talbot, my home town, and afterwards he passed in his car with his wife, and I thought, 'I want to get out and become like him'. Not because of Wales, because I love Wales, but because I was so limited as a child at school and so bereft and lonely, and I thought becoming an actor would do that.” WantYearsChildrenHomeSchoolActorsWifeCarBecomingMetsYears AgoLonelyTownsPortWalesHopkinsBereftHome Town Author:Anthony Hopkins
