Actors Quote by Armie Hammer
“I 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.”

![“I try to do romantic gestures all the time. For instance, this morning I work up early -- earlier than I would have normally liked to have woken up. Elizabeth [Chambers] was still asleep, so I just laid in bed and cuddled with her for an hour. I just ran my hands over her body. It was nice.” quote by Armie Hammer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3b2/armie-hammer-19679_bed_i-try-to-do-romantic-gestures-all-the-ti_414760.jpg)
