Orson Welles
It’s strange to be this tired this young. This tired on a day to day basis. Not physically, mentally.
I’m tired of being told what I should and should not do.
I’m tired of being told what I can and cannot do.
I’m tired of being asked “But how will you do that?” when what it really means is “you won’t be able to do that.”
I’m tired of apologizing because I think someone else thinks I should.
I’m tired of saying “I’m sorry.” And being told “ok.”
I’m tired of thinking I’m doing the right thing, only to discover it wasn’t someone else’s “right thing” therefore it is not.
I’m tired of fighting.
I’m tired of trying.
I’m tired of defending.
Tired of caring.
Tired of helping.
Tired of running.
Tired of walking.
Tired of hiding.
Tired of being in the open.
Mostly, I’m tired of being tired.
I do try to take work that involves some challenge. If you approach a piece of work and you’re going, “Yeah, yeah, I can do that,” then that’s kind of a red flag. Tommy was a big challenge because people wouldn’t normally associate me with a physical presence or a guy that is a fighting man, a guy that can really handle himself and exert fear and command. — Cillian Murphy
