Aaron Johnson Quotations

Life is more important than 'what film I do next.'

I don't go online, I don't read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet.

I discovered a large object in his back pocket. When he pulled it out it was covered in paper, but I saw the plastic sticking out. I pulled it back and saw the marijuana.

Get with a soldier. They'll take you down to the school.

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.

There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.

I was lucky enough, when I was younger, to have the chance to do as much as possible, and I found what I wanted to do. I did swimming, gymnastics, kickboxing and the one that took off more than the others was acting.

I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.

I was always told at school that you had to have a back-up plan, but all I ever wanted to do was act. There was no plan B for me.

My world was completely different to other boys my age. When I was six I was earning money, and by 10 I was paying more tax than the parents of other pupils. I feel a lot older than my years. Because I was working with adults, I had to mature a lot quicker.

What people don't realize is that these cars carry up to 120 mph speeds. The laws of physics say the parts keep going when the car hits something.

Everybody thinks retail is the way to go, but our research shows there may be a better way to do things.

The thing about travelling is that you work hard and play hard, but you can do all those things without your parents knowing.

'Pulp Fiction' was probably one of the first films I ever saw that really kind of took effect on me. I was about four years old - obviously wasn't supposed to be seeing that film; my sister kind of sneaked it out and we got to see it. She's older than me. That was something I always used to watch.

Anyone who's got a guitar, you like to pick it up. I can play a couple of songs, some '50s rock and roll, a bit of Elvis. That's it, really - I'm not a musician, I'm not a singer.

The buzz you get when you're playing a song and everyone is screaming and dancing and what have you and singing along is incredible.

There just isn't any more meat on the bone. In fact, the bone is being cut.

It's funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs.

Sergei read the play great and he managed to find me over there.

I'm a dad, and I can tell you it's the most beautiful thing in the world.

I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.

I haven't got any friends from where I grew up, but that's not to do with fame.

I just tried to stay focused, stay in the game (after the throwing error). We need this conference win.

I defended myself. I had no idea who it was.

I can't think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you're an actor.

I don't like to be me. I'm not so comfortable being me on screen because then I'd be a presenter. I'm not Jimmy Fallon.
