About this Quote
In this quote, James D'arcy reveals his fascination with exploring his own capacity for modification and development. He is drawn to the concept of continuously tough himself and pressing his own borders, much like a boat being pressed out to sea. This could suggest that he is somebody who is not content with staying stagnant or complying with social norms. Instead, he seeks to discover just how far he can go and just how much he can progress as an individual. This frame of mind shows a desire for self-discovery and a determination to take risks in order to reach new heights.

"It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role"
"Although I wasn't able to get a visa for Vietnam, I was able to talk with swift boat veterans to get a feel for the time and place, and I visited a tropical prison in the Philippines to get a sense of what a Vietnamese prison might have been like"
"'Weary Willie' is very real to me. He is a man who has given up. The boat has gone and left him. The cards are stacked against him. He's content to make out with what he's got. He knows he'll go no further"
