Zitat des Tages von Ben Whishaw:

When you have a character to work with, you carry them around in a strange way - they make you look at the world in a different way.
I love films. I love music. I love poetry and stories. All of that I feel... I sort of get very excited and fed by.
Even today, England is a very repressed, repressive country, and there's pressure to be kind of a certain way, so people do things that ultimately make them sad.
I'm a fairly private person.

It's fun to pretend you're good at something you know you wouldn't be good at in real life.

I would have loved to have been a painter or a sculptor. I'm still fascinated by those things.
I think being very thin has had a lot to do with how I've been cast.
My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.
I've gone on workout regimes, but I seem to have a system that is very resistant to changing.
Keats himself spoke about how Shakespeare was capable of erasing himself completely from the characters he had created. As an actor, that is what I'm trying to do.
