Aaron Taylor-Johnson

The problem with independent films is that they can be hit or miss. I've seen scripts that have blown me away. But there have to be all the right ingredients in place to make them work: the director, cast, publicity, distribution.

I was raised by women. Now I'm raising women. I was always better around girls. I live in an all-female household. I even have two female dogs... It's funny how that turned out.

We have the ability to be able, if we have the right resources around us, to really do chop and change and have fun in our time and not just be stuck in one world or the other.

I want to work with great directors. I've picked films based on the script or the character and seen them collapse because the directors were not strong visionaries.

People look at stuff like 'Godzilla' and 'Avengers' and think I only do blockbusters, or however you wanna put it, but in reality, I can make double or triple what I got paid for 'Avengers' by doing other stuff - there are other options, but I don't want to work with this person or that person, and so I don't do it.

The thing about travelling is that you work hard and play hard, but you can do all those things without your parents knowing.

My whole thing, my priority, is my family, my kids, and my wife. That's my future. I don't really care about what role is next.
