“Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a ...” — Jeremy Renner Quote

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore.

I don't want to play a bad guy who doesn't have a bit of good in him.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

When I was growing up, I wasn't taught how to feel or communicate feelings.

You don't want other people to tell you what to do your whole life. And if you feel like shaving your hair off, then you just do it.

People throw in the towel because they don't know how to fight. You'd be surprised how much fight you have in you if you just do it.

I'm the kind of director, at any given moment, an idea occurs to me, I'll just do it.

I don't know what the future is, but you just do it whilst it's there, don't you?

If something feels right, then just do it.
