Quotes by Alex O'Loughlin
In television, the cuts are so quick: bang-bang-bang-bang-bang! I want to shoot two people and sit there for eight minutes and watch them. I've got a lot to learn about television and about the best ways to tell stories directorially in that medium.
There have been many times when I thought I was having a logical discussion with a woman, and then I'm left sitting alone, confused, trying to recount how it went down.
I think if I'd have been an actor who didn't care, I'd have less gray hair, and I'd be a lot less tired.
When I talk about character work, I don't really feel like i do much as an actor when I look at other great actors who win big awards for doing incredible transformations.
I think as an action director; it comes kind of naturally to me to a certain extent, because I've done so much action myself - as my MRIs would suggest!
I'm not the best fly fisherman, but I can fly-fish, because I crack a whip. I learned to crack a whip as a boy... I have skills, mad skills.
I just have to say no to some of the stunts that I love doing so much. I enjoy doing that stuff, but I've learned to let the stuntmen do those.
I blew one of my knees. I've torn ligaments and tendons, ankles, both shoulders, both wrists.
