 Jude Law Quotation"My only obligation is to keep myself and other people guessing." "I would never know how to sell myself as a sex symbol. That's not how I'm programmed." "[...] you go to the National with your parents and think: 'I'd love to be here.' And then suddenly you are. It's a dream come true." "I've always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role; I'd rather be the Wicked Witch." "I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things." "I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about." "Success, and even life itself, wouldn't be worth anything if I didn't have my wife and children by my side. They mean everything to me." "I have no problem with nudity. My friend Ewan and I are starkers in most of our films." "I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor." On his role in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" - "I told Anthony that if I play Dickie Greenleaf, I want to eat in the best restaurants and drink the best wines every night because he would." {about working on Enemy at the Gates) "Yeah, I got blown up, cut up...I remember actually, when I had to go the Ripley premiere which was happening at that time, I arrived with this huge gash in my head. Very cool, really." (about his injury during Dickie's death scene in The Talented Mr. Ripley) "Matt [Damon] broke my rib! But I think I strained his neck, we got a little bit carried away." (about how he got the role of Gigolo Joe) "Through one of those fantastical phone calls when your agent calls you and says 'Stephen Spielberg is on the phone, he wants to speak to you about his next film.' And once you've peeled yourself of the ceiling you go, *clears throat* Yeah, great." (about the paparazzi) "I throw raw vegetables at them." "Bosie [from the movie Wilde] was the first part I was ever offered, which I suppose is sort of an insult because he's just the nastiest bastard!" "Well, I had to do a nude scene [in the play Indiscretions], and you're on stage naked but you get over it, you do whatever you have to do. But the first night, my character is just getting out of the bath, and the rest of the crew had poured in freezing cold water." The truth is, one can work for another ten years and be playing parts, pushing yourself as hard as you can, and you are still accused of that. You're still tainted with that brush. I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law' or 'Heartthrob Jude Law'. In England anyway, that's my full name. That's the cheap language that's thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn't look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more. "I've always liked what Thomas More said in Utopia, which is that in Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliant." "The only film I ever made for money was something called Music From Another Room, which I really didn't like." "I only want to do the kind of work that I would like to go and see, that's going to teach me something new, that involves working with people I can learn something from and I can give something to." "I never thought I had to forge a family, but it felt the most natural thing that ever happened to me - meeting someone and becoming a father." "There were two instances where the police were called for whatever reason to my old house and they sold the story, telling lies. The police were responding to phone calls that happened, but they were then coming out and creating an atmosphere, a drama, when actually nothing had happened; there were no charges pressed. But that's the High Court and then the police selling stories, so how are you going to live in a country and feel safe?" Movie Title: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) as Billy Carl Hanson: Billy Carl Hanson : You don't give me warnings, I give them to you, remember, 'cause I can back mine up. Movie Title: Love, Honor and Obey (2000) as Jude: Jude : Shut up a minute, Jonny. Listen to me. Don't ever, ever, interrupt me in that situation again. No one cares what you have to think or say in that situation. If Ray had been here he'd rip your head off, mate. Jonny : I know, I just thought... Jude : No, no nothing. I'm Ray's relative. I speak for Ray in that situation. You don't offer a word, okay? Jonny : [handing Jude a gun] Here. Jude : Is that for me? Jonny : Yeah. It's loaded, be careful. Jude : Are we going to tool up? Jonny : Yeah. I'll show you how to use it on the way down. Don't point it at anyone you like, all right? Movie Title: The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) as Dickie Greenleaf: Dickie Greenleaf : Everybody has got to have a talent, what's yours? Tom Ripley : Telling lies, forging signatures and impersonating almost anybody. Dickie Greenleaf : You know, without the glasses you're not even ugly. Tom Ripley : [imitating Dickie's father] "To me, jazz is noise. Insolent noise." Dickie Greenleaf : Wow! Cut it out! It's so spooky, my hair's on end! Tom Ripley : First of all I know there's something. That evening when we played chess for instance it was obvious. Dickie Greenleaf : What evening? Tom Ripley : Oh sure, no, no, it's too dangerous for you to take on. Oh, no, no, we're brothers. Hey. And then you do this sordid thing with Marge. Fucking her on the boat so we all have to listen. Which was inscrutinating! And you follow your cock around and now you're getting married! I'm bewildered, forgive me. You're lying to Marge and then you're getting married to her. You're knocking up Silvana. You're ruining everybody. You wanna play the sax, you wanna play the drums. What is it, Dickie? What do you actually want? Dickie Greenleaf : Who are you? Huh? Some third class mooch? Who are you? Who are you to say anything to me? Who are you to tell me anything? Actually I really, really don't want to be on this boat with you. I can't move without you moving. Gives me the creeps. You give me the creeps! Freddie Miles : Oh God! Don't you want to fuck every woman you see just once? Dickie Greenleaf : Only once? Freddie Miles : Absolutely once. Ciao. Dickie Greenleaf : Tom Ripley. Freddie Miles. Freddie Miles : I mean, hey, if I'm late what would her husband say. Dickie Greenleaf : You look gorgeous. Freddie Miles : As always. Dickie Greenleaf : I could fuck this ice box, I love it so much. Dickie Greenleaf : Now you'll find out why Ms. Sherwood shows up for breakfast, Tom. It's not love, it's my coffee machine. Dickie Greenleaf : "See Venice and die," is what they say? Or is it Rome? Dickie Greenleaf : You can be a leech! Dickie Greenleaf : You're so white! Have you ever seen a guy so white, Marge? Grey, actually. Tom Ripley : It's just an undercoat. Dickie Greenleaf : Say again? Tom Ripley : You know a primer. Dickie Greenleaf : That's funny. Margie likes that 'cause she's so white too. Marge Sherwood : Yes, I do and you're not funny. Marge Sherwood : Tom was telling me about his journey over. Made me laugh so hard I almost got a nosebleed. Dickie Greenleaf : Is that good? Marge Sherwood : Shut up. Dickie Greenleaf : I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm despicable. But I love you. Do you love me? Tom Ripley : That ring is superb. Marge Sherwood : Oh, Tom, I love you! See? Dickie Greenleaf : I had to promise, capital p, to never take it off. Otherwise I'd give it to you. Marge Sherwood : Isn't it great? I found it in Naples. I had to bargain for it for about two weeks! Dickie Greenleaf : Uh, I hope it wasn't cheap, Marge? Marge Sherwood : Oh, it was! Tom Ripley : Nothing is more naked than your handwriting. See how nothing's quite touching the line? That's vanity. Dickie Greenleaf : Well, we certainly know that that's true. Dickie Greenleaf : We're all only children. What does that mean? Tom Ripley : It means we've never shared a bath. I'm cold, can I get in? Dickie Greenleaf : No. Tom Ripley : I didn't mean with you in it. Dickie Greenleaf : Okay, get in. I'm like a prune anyway. Dickie Greenleaf : How could it take an hour to find an ambulance? Marge Sherwood : She was already dead, darling. Dickie Greenleaf : I don't know why people say this country is civilised. It isn't. It's fucking primitive! Movie Title: Enemy at the Gates (2001) as Vasilli: Vasilli : He shot him on the run. It was an impossible shot. Danilov : Vassili... Vasilli : You've promised people a victory I can't deliver. I don't stand a chance against this man. Vasilli : In the forest, the wolf lives for three years and the donkey for nine. Tania : That must be a proverb from the Urals, it makes no sense to me. Vasilli : The donkey lives longer because he's more useful. Tania : There aren't any donkeys in the forest, you made it up. Movie Title: The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998) as Steven Grlscz: Steven Grlscz : When I was a boy, I went into the forest and climbed to the top of the tallest tree. Near the top, I slipped, and managed to just grab a branch. It was a long drop. I hung there until the blood in my head pounded in my ears. I can't remember much, but I remember the fear of falling. Steven Grlscz : I haven't confessed to any of the two murders, but I have admited to acting badly twice. Anne Labels: My mother always had some story about what happened to little girls who didn't make their beds or who didn't come home in time for tea. That's why I never judge book by its cover, I never look before I leap, and that worrying is the Devil's favourite pastime. Steven Grlscz : I've never heard that one before. Anne Labels: About the Devil? Come on. Let's go. Steven Grlscz : Shouldn't it be I always look before I leap? Anne Labels: What did I say? Steven Grlscz : Never. Anne Labels: Oh. [To inspector Healey] Steven Grlscz : Well, next time you're following me, you can buy me a drink. Steven Grlscz : My breath smells like pear drops. Acetone. Acetone is what the body produces when it eats itself. Steven Grlscz : [To Anna] Who is this that comes like a pillar of the smoke out of the wilderness? Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense. The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of a cunning craftsman. You read. Anna Labels : Thy lips are like scarlet and thy mouth is comely. The smell of thy breath like apples. Steven Grlscz : And thy breasts two clusters of grapes. Thou, all fair, my love, there is no flaw in you. Movie Title: Wilde (1997) as Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas: Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas : No gentleman ever has the slightest idea of what his bank balance is. Movie Title: Music From Another Room (1998) as Anna / Danny: Danny : Know this, I would marry you yesterday. Anna Swan : Hi, nice to meet you. Danny : Last time we met, you were covered in afterbirth. Eric : Well, now, there's a line I bet you never heard before. Karen Swan : I'm 29. Do you know how old I'm going to be next year? Danny : 30? Karen Swan : Don't mock me. [On what love is like] Danny : You know how when you're listening to music playing from another room? And you're singing along because it's a tune that you really love? When a door closes or a train passes so you can't hear the music anymore, but you sing along anyway... then, no matter how much time passes, when you hear the music again you're still in exact same time with it. That's what it's like. Danny : [chasing after Anna in a taxi, wearing his pig costume] I would marry you tomorrow! I would have children with you, dozens and dozens of children! Taxi Driver : Let's hope they look like the mother. Danny : Have you met Jesus? Nina : He saved my life. Danny : I thought you loved me. Anna : Really, what made you think that? Danny : Probably when you said you loved me. Movie Title: Gattaca (1997) as Jerome: Jerome : If at first you dont succeed... try, try again. Jerome : We have to get drunk immediately. Jerome : I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body - you lent me your dream. Vincent : I can't go anywhere without seeing my own face. They'll recognize me. Jerome : They won't recognize you. Vincent : They'll recognize me. Jerome : I don't recognize you. Vincent : They think I killed the mission director. Jerome : What makes you think that? Vincent : They found my eye lash. Jerome : Where? Vincent : In the corridor. Jerome : Ah well it could be worse. They could have found it in your eye. [During his transformation into "Jerome"] German : There's still the matter of your height. Vincent : How tall are you? Jerome : 4'6" Vincent : I meant before your accident. [After vomiting] Jerome : Do you want some of this? I could keep it for you in case you ever need it... I'm sorry. Sorry. Vincent : How'd you get up here? Jerome : I've been able to walk this whole time, I was just faking it. Jerome : What's your number? That's harassment. What's your number? Movie Title: eXistenZ (1999) as Ted: Allegra : So how does it feel? Ted : What? Allegra : Your real life. The one you came back for. Ted : It feels completely unreal. Allegra : You're stuck now, aren't ya? You want to go back to the Chinese restaurant because there's nothing happening here. We're safe. It's boring. Ted : It's worse than that. I'm not sure... I'm not sure here, where we are, is real at all. This feels like a game to me. And you, you're beginning to feel a bit like a game character. Ted : Allegra, what if we're not in the game anymore? Allegra : If... we're not...? Ted : If we're not, then you just killed someone real. Ted : I actually think there's an element of psychosis involved here. Ted : Death to the demoness Allegra Geller! Ted : It's none of your business who sent us! We're here and that is all that matters. ...God, what happened? I didn't mean to say that. Allegra : It's your character who said it. It's kind of a schizophrenic feeling isn't it? You'll get use to it. There are things that have to be said to advance the plot and establish the characters, and those things get said whether you want to say them or not. Don't fight it. Just avoid it. Allegra : Oh God! Ted : What happened? Allegra : The whole pod just disappeared into your back. Ted : It disappeared into my back? It's in my spine? It's working its way around my spinal cord?! Allegra : Don't panic, it's just a game. Ted : What happens if someone comes up here and really wants to ski? Allegra : Come on Pikul. No one actually "skis" anymore, you know that. Ted : eXistenZ is paused! Ted : Free will is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours. Allegra : It's like real life. There's just enough to make it interesting. Ted : We're both stumbling around together in this unformed world, whose rules and objectives are largely unknown, seemingly indecipherable or even possibly nonexistent, always on the verge of being killed by forces that we don't understand. Allegra : That sounds like my game, all right. Ted : That sounds like a game that's not gonna be easy to market. Allegra : But it's a game everybody's already playing. Movie Title: Road to Perdition (2002) as Maguire: [Maguire has pulled out a camera] Michael Sullivan : Is that, uh... your profession or... your pleasure? Maguire : Both, I guess. To be paid to do what you love... ain't that the dream? Maguire : I shoot the dead. Dead bodies, that is. I don't kill them. Maguire : Smile. [After Maguire tells Sullivan about his profession] Maguire : You ever seen one? Michael Sullivan : Yeah. Maguire : Sorry for you. Terrible thing... but it sure makes you feel alive, don't it? Michael Sullivan : I'll drink to that. Maguire : Have you ever seen a dead body? Michael Sullivan : Yes. Maguire : I'm sorry to hear that. It's a terrible thing. But it sure does make you feel alive, doesn't it? Michael Sullivan : I'll drink to that. Movie Title: Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) as Gigolo Joe: Gigolo Joe : When you become a real boy, remember me to the ladies when you grow up. Gigolo Joe : I *am*. [Being taken into custody] Gigolo Joe : I was! Gigolo Joe : She loves what you do for her, as my customers love what it is I do for them. But she does not love you David, she cannot love you. You are neither flesh, nor blood. You are not a dog, a cat, or a canary. You were designed and built specific, like the rest of us. And you are alone now only because they tired of you, or replaced you with a younger model, or were displeased with something you said, or broke. They made us too smart, too quick, and too many. We are suffering for the mistakes they made because when the end comes, all that will be left is us. That's why they hate us, and that is why you must stay here, with me. Gigolo Joe : They ask for me by name. Gigolo Joe, What do you know? Gigolo Jane : Hey Joe, what do you know? Gigolo Joe : Hey Jane, how's the game? Gigolo Joe : You are a goddess, Patricia. You wind me up inside. But you deserve much better in your life. You deserve... me. Gigolo Joe : I know women! They sometimes ask for me by name. I know all about women. About as much as there is to know. No two are ever alike, and after they've met me, no two are ever the same! Gigolo Joe : I'm in bad trouble. Gigolo Joe : All roads lead to Rouge. Gigolo Joe : In this day and age, David, nothing costs more than information. Gigolo Joe : Many a mecha has gone to the end of the world... never to come back! That is why they call the end of the world 'MAN-hattan'. Gigolo Joe : They hate us, you know... The humans. They'll stop at nothing. Gigolo Joe : She will make you a real boy for I will make her a real woman and all will be right with the world, because you held my hand and saved my brain. So once again my customers may ask for me by name: 'Gigolo Joe, wha'd'ya know'! [Joe starts dancing] David : Why do you do that? Gigolo Joe : That's just what I do. Movie Title: Shopping (1994) as Billy: Billy : I know my rights. I watch L.A.Law. Police Inspector: Is that supposed to be funny? Billy : No, more like comedy-drama. Billy : [to Jo] Oh shit, the police brought a fucking transit van to a car chase. Billy : [to Jo] This is the 90s. Sex isn't safe any more. Movie Title: Cold Mountain (2003) as Inman: Inman : [to Ada] If you could see my inside, or whatever you want to name it; my spirit, that's what I fear. I think I'm ruined. They kept trying to put me in the ground but I wasn't ready. But if I had... if I had goodness, I lost it. If I had anything tender in me, I shot it dead! How could I write to you after what I'd done? What I'd seen? Inman : You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place. Ada : But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments. Inman : A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. You were always carrying a tray. Ada : You wouldn't come inside. Inman : I wouldn't come inside. Ada : I had to carry a tray to come out and see you. Inman : The way you felt when I pulled you to me. That kiss- which I kissed again everyday of my walking. Ada : Everyday of my waiting... Inman : I ain't getting shot again for some cause I don't believe in. Inman : But I'm a deserter. If they find me here things could get bad for you. Maddy : What are they gonna do? Take me young life? Inman : I fear this war; this awful war will have changed us beyond all reckoning. Inman : She's the place I'm heading. But I hardly know her. I just can't seem to get back to her. Inman : Ada, I wanna marry you. If you'll have me. Ada : Isn't there some religion where you just say I marry you, three times, and then you're man and wife. Inman : I marry you, I marry you, I marry you. [Ada laughs] Inman : Why is that funny? Ada : No, I think it's I divorce you three times and then you're not married anymore. Inman : This doesn't come out right. If it were enough to stand, without the words. Ada : It is, it is. Inman : Look at the sky now. What color is it? Or the way a hawk flies. Or you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking so hard on somebody. What do you call that? Inman : Come out of there. Bosie : No, sir. Here's fine. Inman : I'll just have to shoot the horse from under you. Bosie : Shoot her. She's not mine. You riding Mr. Teague's mare? Inman : I am. Bosie : He dead? Inman : I hope so. Look, how old are you? Give me your gun and ride home, I'm done fighting. I'm sick of it. Bosie : I give you my gun and you'll shoot me dead. Inman : I will not shoot you, but nor am I walking down that mountain looking over my shoulder for you. Bosie : That's what you call a conundrum. I tell you what I've got on my side. Inman : What have you got on your side? Bosie : The confidence of youth. Veasey : Oh God of my God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Junior : What's up? Veasey : The Israelites! The tribes of Israel are about to flee from the banks of Egypt! Hallelujah! Inman : He's got a shit coming on. It's overdue. Inman : I imagine God is weary of being called down on both sides of an argument. Inman : I came back for you. Inman : I'm wetter than a fish. Ada : Hello, I'm Ada Monroe. Inman : I'm Inman. Ada : Inman? Inman : W.P. Inman. Ada : [repeats it] W.P. Inman. Inman : Repeating a thing doesn't improve it. Please call me Inman. Inman : [in bed with Sara] I'll go. I love someone. I love someone very much. Inman : The sky, what color is it? And the way a hawk flies? or when you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking on something, somebody so hard. What do you call that? Ada : Did you get a picture made? Inman : Say again? Ada : A tintype, with your gun and courage on display. Inman : You're laughing at me. Ada : I don't know you. Inman : You're always carrying a tray. [Veasey finds a saw] Veasey : Hey! Look at this! This is a good saw. Inman : It's not yours. You take it, you make us another enemy. You are a Christian- don't you know your commandments? Veasey : You'll find the good Lord very flexible on the subject of property. We could do a lot with this saw... Inman : [to Veasey] I should have shot you when I had the chance. Inman : I've had to put myself in the way of people's kindness. Sara : I'm alone here, as you can see, with my baby. I need to believe you mean no harm. [Inman takes out his gun] Inman : No, I mean to give it to you. Sara : I don't want it. If I had my way they'd take metal altogether out of this world. Every blade, every gun. Inman : Move away from the baby! Bardolph : Don't shoot. Inman : Take off your boots. Take off your pants and your shirt. [Bardolph takes off his boots, pants, and shirt] Bardolph : Don't shoot me, please. We're starving. We haven't eaten. Inman : You'd better get running before you catch your death of cold. Bardolph : Thanks, thank you. I will. [Bardolph starts to run, and then Sara shoots him] Ruby : Have you been shot? Inman : Not lately. |
