I Love People. People Are

As Actors, We Have The Opportunity To Work With Many Directors. Directors Only Work With Themselves And Other Actors. They Never Know What It Is Like To Work With Another Director. So That Relationship That One Has With A Director Is Entirely Always The King.

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 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.

Whatever Character You Play, Remember They Are Always Doing Something They Are Not Just Talking.

I'm A Nice Middle Class Public Schoolboy Who Underachieved And Wasn't Going Anywhere Fast. I Didn't Get Any Gcses Or A-levels. But Everyone Was Like: "please, Will You Do Something?" And I Was Thinking: "well, I Kind Of Like The Idea Of Joining The French Foreign Legion."
