“There’s an underpinning of just complete love between [my character] and Moses in the movie that also has a space for conflict to be there, and jealousy to be there, and envy to be there, and I think that’s true of real relationships." 

"I’ve got a real supreme, undying, unquestionable love for my brother, and then some days I look at him and I go, ‘Oh, God, I really envy what you do.’ And sometimes I’m jealous of him and sometimes I’m angry at him, you know, so it’s everything in those relationships [that] is so rich, and I think it’s sort of why I was drawn to [the role of Ramses].”

–  Joel Edgerton explains how his relationship with his brother Nash helped inform his portrayal of Ramses in “Exodus: Gods and Kings”

“I always check with my brother when I’m offered a role. And he’ll say, ‘Take the money away from the equation, do you really want to do that movie?’ And when I say, ‘No, but they’re going to give me X amount of dollars,’ he tells me not to do the movie because I already get paid enough. And he’s right.”
