A Quote by Aidan Gillen

I don't really differentiate between different genres: if there's a good part going, I'll go after it, and it's preferable to me if it's something I haven't done before.
It's really interesting to just look at the career of a musician and a producer that went into many different genres and many different styles and many different places but always breaking the barriers between genres and at some point reinventing himself all along the way but also inventing things at the same time.
I love bouncing between different genres. And comedy, obviously, is something I enjoy doing the most and I've had the most success with. But I'm open to all jobs and all genres.
After they lose, I think all tennis players go back to a specific part of the match where they wish they had done something different.
Even now, I still get a bit apprehensive before a game because I am worried about whether I have done enough preparation or if something is going to catch me out. But the fear factor has gone - as it should have done by now, really, after nearly 50 years.
I really don't want to make the same film twice, so I am conscious of going after material that is significantly different to anything I've done before.
Seeking is a combination of emotions people usually think of as being different: wanting something really good, looking forward to getting something really good and curiosity. Seeking gives you the energy to go after your goals.
I led the NFL in attempts the past two years and they really didn’t go out and get a quarterback to help me so I knew it’s going to be all on me again. I could see my mortality as a football player, that I’m not going to be able to do this much longer. It just became obvious to me that playing football for me is not going to be fun, not something I’m going to enjoy and it’s time for me to do something different.
Generally a good parameter for me is to try something I haven't done before either in the writing or recording process, to break old patterns and habits. Even if I eventually return to something similar, I'll have gotten there from a different starting point and engaged in a different process.
I don't know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that's not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.
I can't just go to McDonald's after I'm done working out. I'm going to treat my body like it's the only body I'm ever going to have. I'm going to make sure it's strong and it's good. I'm really going to work hard every single day.
I love dabbling in different genres, and I like being good at different genres of cinema.
I'm definitely in a place where I'm looking for different than what I've done in the past, just so I can go to work and do something I haven't done before.
I thought that after 'Hate Story 3,' people are going to typecast and offer me the same roles. But, I have been lucky enough to be offered almost all different genres.
Anybody who has wanted me to go out there and pull some emotion out and act like we are going to get down, that's what I specialize in. That's fine. That's something that I do, and that's something that I've done over the breadth of my career. With Brock Lesnar, regardless of who he is, it was going to be no different.
As a screenwriter I'm often writing in genres where there have been thousands of movies; whereas when I direct movies they tend to be in between genres. They tend to have a little bit of a genre to them, but they're really about the people, and they're people we haven't met before.
The good part of working in TV is it's like being a studio director in old Hollywood and approaching different genres. It's a chance to try out different styles.
