A biography for Guy Pearcehasn’t been written yet.
“I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy', because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.”
“A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but one of my least favorite kinds of music, or the kind of music that I feel I've so got out of my system, is musicals music.”
“I wish I had the ability to crack wise, generally. You know, without getting punched. There's no way I could do it while getting beaten up. Definitely.”
“I don't have many friends.”
“Success comes in waves.”
“I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.”
“I don't really relate to certain blokey men who just want to talk about blokey things. I never really know what to say and I always feel I have to act blokey in order to have them not say, 'You're a weirdo.'”
“If I'm exhausted, physically and particularly emotionally, I can't tell what's good and I can't tell what's bad and I'm useless.”
“I don't enjoy movies in 3D. I find I can't engage with the story as well.”
“I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.”
“I grew up with such an affinity to cats. I adore the way that they think and operate.”
“I don't believe in God, but the thing I do believe in is that we're all connected.”
“Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.”
“My problem is I'm an addictive personality. I can't have one coffee. I can't eat one piece of chocolate.”
“Doing that hunt scene was really quite demanding. I actually broke a rib during that scene. And then all the scenes after that became quite challenging, just breathing and laughing.”
“The reality is that we have all these awards and all these festivals that give out awards, so you sort of go, 'okay, well, people liked the film, and I think it's a good film, and it's up for an award - well, I guess it should win the award then.'”
“Every time you say yes to a film there's a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc.”
“The movie industry is very competitive, and if you're like me and you suffer from your own insecurities about whether or not you're any good, that can be troubling.”
“The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.”
“You would think that with ten super-famous people in one movie, it's gonna be ten times more popular or viewed, but on some level, they can cancel each other out.”
