Brad Pitt is known for bring an array of complex and challenging roles to the screen and the sexy dad of six seems to recreate some of those characters and add some new ones to mix in his spread for the October/November issue of Interview magazine.
The actor, who is already garnishing Oscar buzz for his performance in the upcoming film 'Killing Me Softly', talks with the publication about choosing his roles, using different dialects in his work and his growing career as a producer. Quotes and photos beneath:
On Choosing His Films:
"Yeah. I mean, as you know, so much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you're figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it's not worth doing—it's already done. So I'm interested in finding people who I think have a voice—and a very specific voice. It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone made a certain turn that I didn't expect . . . You know, I'm in."
On Using Different Dialects in His Work:
"Well, you know, I like a bit of song, and dialect is a song. I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from. We also have some German heritage. The Upper East Coast, though, is a little bit more connected to a British heritage."
On His Career As A Producer:
"Yeah. I'd rather be behind the camera. As a producer, obviously, you're part of a team that brings the story to the screen. It wouldn't be there if you didn't champion it or if you and a group of people weren't championing it. I like that."
