A biography for Dominic Monaghanhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't say anything unintentionally.”
“I was never a big guy in pubs. I was never the main kind of aggressor or anything like that, but I found myself in trouble because I always had a mouth that would come back with something, and there was just never anyone who could make me be quiet.”
“I'm a big fan of the misunderstood, the vilified, the underdog, the breaking of myths.”
“I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room. You're taken care of and the food is amazing, the quality of the job is amazing and then you work on smaller things but it never dictates my happiness or my willingness to go to work.”
“I don't tend to go out that much.”
“I get involved with projects based on three parameters - the script, the actors involved and the director.”
“I like relationships and being in love, but I also like being single - you have to embrace all those different things.”
“I could always flip between emotions and be available to suddenly do something new. I think it's a part of playing, and you hang onto it when you're a kid.”
“I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all of my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as an occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cow disease.”
“I've had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They'll tell you when they're grumpy. They'll tell you when they're okay.”
“I love going to work. I love being on-set everyday. It feeds me; it's exciting.”
“Obviously the idea of being human is a very human idea.”
“I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as a occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cows disease.”
“I think if you're an actor, then you can work on stage - but if you've never done it before, you're going to have picked up a few things that you're going to need to change when you're working on stage.”
“I've got a hectic schedule, but I wouldn't have my life any other way.”
“I have a lot of respect for marriage.”
“Bureaucratic nonsense at airports drives me crazy.”
“The term 'geek' for me is like you having a passion, interest in something that is unabashed and you don't care if people think it's not cool. You think it's cool and that's your thing.”
“I used to get quite upset that I'd make friends with a guy or a girl and then within the space of three years we'd move and go and live somewhere else, and you'd have to say goodbye to that person.”
“I enjoy the preparatory elements of travel - packing my bags and choosing my outfits - but my favourite part is getting there.”
