Barry Pepper

“It's about finding the truth of the character.”

“You have to be very careful with what you say. More importantly, you have to be very careful with what you do.”

“I feel very fortunate to have been a part of many successful films.”

“I grew up on a boat, so I'm a water person.”

“I'm a family man, and my family is the most important thing in my life.”

“I'm drawn to characters that are really flawed, that are not conventional.”

“I always look for a challenge and something that's different.”

“I've always been a character actor. I've never been a leading man.”

“When you're working with great directors and great actors, you just have to bring your A-game.”

“You learn so much from the people you work with.”

“I think the most important thing is to be honest with yourself and to be honest with your audience.”

“I don't think I'm a Method actor. I'm a 'whatever works' actor.”

“I think it's important to be able to laugh at ourselves and not take life too seriously.”
