Alex Pettyfer Net Worth

Alex Pettyfer's Quotes

• I think you have to be very secure as an actor to escape yourself - to revisit someone's past, whether you're portraying another person or creating someone, and then to come back to who you are and not bring those emotions with you.
• Parties don't thrill me. I like sitting at home with a tub of Chunky Monkey ice cream watching Big Brother: USA (2000) or Friends (1994).
• I want to have lots of bodyguards around me and be surrounded by beautiful women while watching my brother play at Wimbledon.
• (2011) Being an actor in L.A. is like being in prison: you go, you serve your time, you try to replicate Johnny Depp's career-and then you move to Paris.
• (2011) L.A. is growing on me a little bit, but it's still a shit-hole. I think it's this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear. Geographically it's fantastic: in a half hour, you can be on the beach in one direction, go snowboarding in another, or go out into the desert. But socially it's disgusting. I wish they'd just run all the cunts out.
