Quotes
"I also care that the public are getting their 12 dollars worth when they go to a movie, and that they're not coming out not wanting to ever see a movie with me in it again. I don't care what people think of me as a person, but I do care what people think of my work, and whether I'm investing enough into it." TV.com: Sam Worthington: Biography
"Most actors go, 'I read the script and fell in love with it'; I fall in love with the directors." TV.com: Sam Worthington: Biography
