Peter Sarsgaard

“Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart.”

“I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me.”

“The thing that I'm most interested in is seeing real people on screen.”

“I think that I'm just on a mission to make sure that we have great representation of actual human beings in movies.”

“I'm interested in the way that people are flawed.”

“I think of myself as a character actor. I've always been drawn to playing characters that are not me.”

“The first thing that I do when I'm creating a character is I try to find a rhythm for them. A rhythm of speaking, a rhythm of walking.”

“I try to find things that are insanely cheap and brilliant. My converse are canvas and basic, but I think they look good and are ridiculously cheap.”

“I think acting is a very spiritual thing. I think we are all on a journey, and we are all just trying to get closer to the source.”

“I am not a person who is about reality. I am about the fiction of reality.”

“The things that are happening to me have never been me. It's just a number of things that have happened.”
