You can't stop technology or science, and it is snowballing quicker than ever. Something's got to come to a head. How? Who knows? But it will.
Billy Burke
The end of times has always been a fascination. But post 9/11, pretty much everybody will admit to having it on their minds more frequently than when they were a kid.
I read bits and pieces of 'Twilight' as we were making it.
I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.
It's nice to be able to play a guy who gets to say all the things that you don't get to say in real life.
I will do anything, and I do almost everything myself. But when there is something extra heinous to do, I have a great stunt double, Eddie Davenport, and a great stunt coordinator, Jeff Wolfe.
My daughter was born just after the making of 'Twilight.'
You never get fans hanging out on movie sets. It just never happens.
We are so reliant on power and technology for everything.
I'm just not a good reader, so I haven't been able to sit down and get myself through an entire book in my whole life.
I watch movies, and if I get the chance to watch television, I'm usually prone to watching something completely mindless and mundane that I don't have to follow so closely.
I'd rather be busy than not.
I'm not one of those people who gets starry-eyed.
No one could have predicted the cultural phenomenon 'Twilight' has become.
I am not a big reader to begin with.
Actually shooting a 3-D movie is not different at all than making a 2-D one. You never really notice that you're making a 3-D movie. The terminology used around the set is a little bit different, but other than that, you'd never know.
I've never had a series that's gone past 12 episodes.
I'm not a guy who has ever seen the inside of a gym.
I had known that I'd wanted to be an actor from a very early age, but I had always known that I wanted to have a dual career. I wanted to be an actor, and I also at that time wanted to be a rock star.
I've gotten an opportunity to work with a lot of the people I've looked up to over the years, and I feel pretty grateful for it.
I can do without a television or a telephone, I think.
I'm a guy who likes to make it up as he goes along.
I like to play a lot of poker in my off time.
I started my career, actually, maybe the first 10, 11 years, playing the bad boyfriend with the gun. And I got ill with that and moved on, for some reason, to playing cops all the time.
I've been kicking around in this business for 20-something years now, and there's actually few times where you can look at the piece of work that's put out there, and you can actually be proud of it.
All I want out of a television show is that I be intrigued and entertained.
Most evil characters, if they're not psychopathic, they become that way because they believe in what they're doing.
When your baby smiles at you with their whole body, it's enough to make me fall down.
I don't make the distinction between whether or not I'm going to do a TV show or movies. It's all based on material. It's about whatever comes along that I think I can add the most to, bring something to the character, and have some fun with.
Bill Condon has made some excellent movies.
I started out as a musician. Although I always wanted to have a dual career, I fell into the TV and movie business more strongly and more quickly.
I was watching Burt Reynolds movies when I was a kid, going, 'That's what I want to do.'
