Tom Hardy

I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people. ↗

I like to be other people, not me. And when you're on the red carpet, it's like, 'Here's Tom Hardy.' I don't want to be me. That's why I play other people. ↗

I'm from a nice, suburban, middle-class family, but my tattoos remind me where I've been. ↗

Being an only child, I didn't have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London. ↗

I have a very busy head. I have inside voices that I have learned to contain. ↗

I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I'll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser. ↗

I'm into parlor dramas. I'm into theatre. I'm trained for the stage. I trained to do Chekhov and Shakespeare, I was trained for the stage. ↗

I'm just getting settled as a responsible man - but if you split the elephant into little mouthfuls it will be fine. ↗

I'm not a big guy anyway. I'm only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for 'Batman,' 179 for 'Warrior.' Films make you look big. ↗

If I am duly compared to Marlon Brando at all, well, I can only think of The Teahouse of the 'Shanghai Noon,' that they're comparing me to that! ↗
