Damian Lewis Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Damian Lewis:

I loved doing 'Homeland.' I loved playing Brody.

A cricket ball broke my nose when I was a kid so I couldn't breath through it. Before I had it operated on I used to stand on stage with my mouth slightly open.

Damian Lewis

I'm not very good at strategizing.

Damian Lewis

Would I have traded 'Homeland' for anything else? No. Would I trade 'Billions' for anything else? No.

Damian Lewis

I loved doing 'Homeland.' I loved playing Brody.

Damian Lewis

It's sad that children don't spend enough time looking around and being amazed by what's in the real world.

I think very few people still understand the distinction between CEOs on Wall Street and the hedge-fund billionaires operating separately.

Damian Lewis

My parents came to see me in a play at Eton when I was 16. And then, when I said I wanted to try for drama school, they knew there was enough passion there for them to be brave and back me.

Damian Lewis

We had a good time mucking about during 'Band of Brothers' when we were young and single.

Damian Lewis

I went to boarding school, and what that teaches you is to cope emotionally at a young age and to suppress a lot of emotion. Being in the army is, in a way, similar.

Damian Lewis

There are jobs that come along in your life, if you're lucky enough, that elevate you in a considerable way. And 'Homeland' was definitely one of those jobs.

Damian Lewis

There is a latent anger in a lot of people that went to boarding school at an early age. I was eight. And I loved it over the five years, but I think the adjustments for eight-year-olds are a lot. And I think it informs who you are for a long, long time.

Damian Lewis

I went to boarding school from the age of eight - first to prep school, then to Eton. One thing that kind of education teaches you is community living: there's little retreat. That's why people come out of it and talk about lifelong friendships forged in the furnace.

Damian Lewis

It's certainly true that I was brought up in that British amateur tradition, the one which always held that if you were reasonably good at cricket, knew one or two Latin texts and a few zingy Oscar Wilde quotes for dinner parties, you were pretty much ready to go and run some outpost in Hindustan.

Damian Lewis

I love going for a swim. Growing up in England, anywhere with a pool seems like the height of glamour to me.

Damian Lewis

It's successful, middle-class Arab men and women, professionals with seemingly happy family lives, who are prepared to go to paradise for a greater cause. That's terrifying.

Damian Lewis

You just have to take control of your own performance.

Damian Lewis

I've had loss in my life, and I like to think my mother's energy lives on in some faintly Buddhist way. I do find some comfort there.

Damian Lewis

I'm not an American, but I have this weird connection to America in different ways through my dad living here for five years, my godfather being an American who I'm very close to.

Damian Lewis

The best shows succeed because they tap into a national conversation.

Damian Lewis

My parents were incredibly inclusive.

Damian Lewis

Seeing a man praying to Allah is enough for some people to assume he is a terrorist.

Damian Lewis

I didn't know 'Homeland' was going to be 'Homeland.' I just did it because it was a terrific script, and they pitched me the story line, and I was like, 'Huh, that's interesting.'

Damian Lewis

I suppose where I am sort of reflects the work I have chosen to do. Are there occasional frustrations because I can't work with a certain director because it's a big studio movie, and I don't have enough of a studio profile? The answer is yes. But generall... generally, I have the career I have chosen myself.

Damian Lewis

My background was fairly conservative, and I think there's a strong notion of duty in a background like that, and I don't think that's always helpful.

Damian Lewis

I'm a slow starter.

Damian Lewis

I have a three-year-old and a four-year-old at home, and my mornings are about just dealing with the fact of that. I oddly enjoy it.

Damian Lewis

I came of age as a male lead actor just as the TV landscape dramatically shifted.

Damian Lewis

I had no ambition to go to America and be in a TV show. It's not like I've rejected something or decided that I've found something better. Your life just takes you off in strange and different directions.

Damian Lewis

It's an unfair comparison because when things are developed in the UK, they're developed at script stage only.

Damian Lewis

I'm one of those pesky Brits.

Damian Lewis

There are lots of different reasons to choose roles.

Damian Lewis

There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.

Damian Lewis

L.A. still ranks as one of my guilty pleasures, along with butter-pecan ice cream and Coldplay albums.

Damian Lewis

An interesting insight into the ruthlessness of studio executives: I was having a conversation with Alex Gansa, a creator of 'Homeland,' and I said, 'So you guys must have seen 'Life' and liked me in it, right? That's the most recent thing I've done over here.' And he went, 'No, Damian. You actually nearly didn't get the job because of 'Life.'

Damian Lewis

Producing is a world of compromise and actors are utterly spoiled all the time.

Damian Lewis

You know, I think I am faintly spiritual.
