Quotes by Josh Hartnett
Josh Hartnett's insights on:
I'm always trying to find something unique or a project that I can do something unique in.
I like movies about people and movies with characters; that’s what I’m drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.
You know, honestly, acting in film is remarkably independent. You’re doing your thing and someone else is doing their thing.
I always find that I have to be emotionally on my character’s side for it to be convincing.
I think vampires have gotten maybe a little bit silly in the last years where they’re all wearing crushed velvet and reading poetry and making sweet love to their victims, you know, it’s not really all that scary.
Honestly, I guess if you looked at my CV, I’ve been doing independent movies since I started. I think that I kind of took a few steps back from Hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because I wasn’t quite ready for the attention.
I’m not limited by genre and it doesn’t really matter what the genre is as long as the film is going to be new and have some real artistic integrity.
I want to experiment; I want to keep growing. I didn’t want to just sit back and rest on my haunches and do the things I knew I could do for a while.
