Guy Pearce's Quotes

• You meet these people who are confident all the time. They annoy me. And I wonder if it's because I'm envious or if it's because they're shallow.

• A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but one of my least favorite kinds of music, or the kind of music that I feel I've so got out of my system, is musicals music.
• I love being at home in Melbourne, reading scripts, doing the gardening and running around after my wife.
