It's great to blow the image that people have of me out of the water.

Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.

- Hugo Weaving

I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.

- Hugo Weaving

I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.

- Hugo Weaving

I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.

- Hugo Weaving

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.

- Hugo Weaving

I think often in film we limit our imaginations a little - well, quite a lot, actually... things get quite formulaic.

- Hugo Weaving

I'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.

- Hugo Weaving

If a film isn't really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we're probably not that interested in it, actually.

If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.

- Hugo Weaving

As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.

The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.

- Hugo Weaving

I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.

- Hugo Weaving

I keep thinking I should get a phone, because everyone's got one and it becomes increasingly difficult to exist in a society where everyone else has moved ahead and you haven't.

- Hugo Weaving

I think when your image becomes so big that it's hard for a viewer to see a character, then I think you're in danger as an actor of being unable to perform what you should be doing.

- Hugo Weaving

I don't think I'll ever escape the fact that I don't belong anywhere in particular. I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.
