Biography of Armie Hammer
My wife comes from a foodie family so I've been indoctrinated into that. I had sweetbreads the other night, and I have to say, not my favorite thing in the world You're eating a gland.
Tags: Family, Night, WifeThere are two 'Snow White' movies coming out for the same reason that you remember back in the day there was 'Armageddon' and then 'Deep Impact.' You know, 'Andromeda Strain' and then 'Outbreak.' Like, all of those things. It's common because basically studios have no imagination in making the decisions.
Tags: Deep, Movies, SnowThere were two auditions for 'The Social Network,' one with Aaron Sorkin and one with David Fincher. I was a nervous wreck. I was like, 'Okay, how do I hold the paper without my hands making it shake?'
Tags: Hands, Making, SocialYeah, I mean I've definitely had a bunch of action scripts sent to me, but again I'm a stickler for directors. If it's like an action flick with a great director then it's like 'Oh let's look at this thing,' but if it's just like a shoot-em'-up with a first time director. I don't know if that's the trajectory I want to take with what I'm doing.
Tags: Great, Mean, TimeI think a primal role of a man in a relationship is to protect his woman.
Tags: Protect, Role, WomanAs a fluke, my great-grandfather hit one of the largest oil reserves in California.
Tags: California, Hit, OilI couldn't be more blessed.

Tags: Art, Family, LoveI need it to survive. But most specifically, McDonalds Big Mac's and McDoubles (with no pickles).
Tags: Big, Mac, SurviveI never grew up reading or fantasizing about fairy tales. I was always too busy, like, outside being a kid.
Tags: Busy, Kid, ReadingI support myself. My wife and I together - it's all our household. I'm really proud of that.
Tags: Proud, Together, WifeI was always Armie. There couldn't be a 90-year-old Armand and a 9-day-old one. And I heard enough jokes about baking soda.
Tags: Enough, Heard, JokesI'm half Jewish, but no one believes me because my looks lean a little WASP-y... It's sometimes hard for me to get the roles I'm drawn to.
Tags: Half, Hard, SometimesMy great-great-grandfather Julius founded the Communist Party in New York.
Tags: Communist, Party, YorkNot sure of my place in the world (still up for debate) and not sure what I wanted to do with my life (not really up for debate).
Tags: Life, Place, WantedYou have to emote much more to get what you're trying to get across to come through a quarter inch of latex that's superglued to your face.
Tags: Emote, Face, TryingI don't think I should tell you what to do, nor should the government. As long as you enjoy your own personal liberties and don't infringe on the liberties of others, I don't care.
Tags: Care, Enjoy, GovernmentI feel fortunate. I've really gotten to work with amazing talented people, and to learn from them, which is why I'm doing this. If I can work with the best director I'm going to do it.
Tags: Amazing, Best, WorkI grew up in the Cayman Islands. I didn't play video games or watch TV. I would basically come home from school, throw down my backpack, grab my machete, and go hike and chop down trees to make a fort.
Tags: Games, Home, SchoolI have about as much control over how I look as the guy who's short and looks more like a character actor - we both have the same drive to be actors and we both have the same drive to assume these different characters, it's just harder for me to get the chance because they look at me and say, 'Oh, he's this type,' and they stamp me.
Tags: Character, Control, ShortI've definitely had a bunch of action scripts sent to me, but again I'm a stickler for directors. If it's, like, an action flick with a great director, then it's like, 'Oh let's look at this thing,' but if it's just like a shoot-em'-up with a first time director, I don't know if that's the trajectory I want to take with what I'm doing.

It's something that I think I'm going to have to fight against for most of my career, for people to take me seriously as an actor as opposed to a good-looking guy. It's not what I want to be known as.
Tags: Against, Career, FightMy entire life had been this long, pressured conversation about the family I represented. 'When you walk out the door, you represent us. You have to dress well and make sure your hair is combed.'
Tags: Family, Hair, LifeMy very first kiss happened when I was 6, underneath some desks during 'nap time', but my first real kiss happened when I was 15 in the parking lot at a Mexican food restaurant.
Tags: Food, Real, TimeMy parents did great and provided well, and gave all their kids personal, moral, ethical values, not a belief that we were entitled to something.
Tags: Great, Moral, ParentsMy parents weren't at all in entertainment, but when I look back, something along the line prepared me and opened me up to entertainment.
Tags: Along, Line, ParentsI'm very lucky that my husband is a true partner in child-rearing. If I get home late, he gets home early or vice-versa. I travel more, and he's able to spell me when I'm gone.

Tags: Band, Else, HappenedYou never know what you find once you really get going.
Tags: OnceIt was very hard to get any records, so the only source for us to really hear what was happening was listening to the Voice of America. We would be taping all the broadcast and then sharing the tapes and talking about it.
Tags: America, Hard, TalkingIt's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?
Tags: Mean, Together, TryThe problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing.
