Andrew Gregson - Mathichon - September 27, 2000
He is a private person. That makes him look like he is arrogant. He is often an item in the news about his character.
Regardless of what people think, he is just a normal guy. He shows different behavior and has many emotions depending on what day / occasion and what environments he is in.
"I don't know what kind of person I am. Sometimes I am talkative. Sometimes I am very serious and sometimes I absolutely have nothing in my head"
"I guess I'm normal"
"Whoever nice to me, I would be nice to them. If weirdos come over, I might be confused and not sure what to act. If people are bad to me, I would definitely be bad in return. Everybody has many emotions depending on the environments."
"I am not doing anything. Some might think I don't care about them. Some might think that's good, because they like quietness. People can think whatever they want to think"
"I don't care about what people think because I am not in control of their minds"
However, he confessed that he doesn't speak much because he is not sure what to talk about. When he is at work, he often focuses on his work.
"I love acting because I get to be who I cannot be in real life"
"I would do it as long as people still hire me"
"But I am still not good at it"
"I am still far from being good at it. I would like to be able to believe that I am actually that person and can act and think and feel what that character feels. If I'm there, I would consider myself good enough"
"I seldom can get to that point. Any day I can be in the character fully, I would have so much fun with it"
That's why before taking the job, he often thinks whether he can be in the character. As a result, he is looked at as selective and picky.
"I have to look after myself which I don't think there's anything wrong with that"
"Like you order some food, you would look at the price and what it is. Everybody needs to choose what they think they would like and what benefits them most. I don't belong to any particular companies, I don't have contracts. If I cannot be good at what I'm hired to do, I would not be hired again. So, I need to choose what I can do best"
"Actors are like contractors, there is a job to do, we would see if we can do it. That's the only criterion I have. If I can do it, I would do it. Sometimes I do need to turn down the offer because of other reasons, such as the timing. Or sometimes the job will not be starting for a long time. In that case, we would have to talk again when it's getting closer to materialize."
"Most of the times, that's the reason"
Do you see, he is not picky as people said.
