Liam Cunningham Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Liam Cunningham:

You have to look for story. That's obvious. If that's not on the page, you can forget it. But I also read whatever character I'm being offered. And if you can cut them out without it affecting the story, then I say no straight away.

I think HBO and a couple of the other cable channels in America are making some of the best television that's ever been made.

If I was offered the choice of an award for best actor or best supporting actor, I would go for supporting actor.

Liam Cunningham

I've always loved movies, so I tried to get into an acting school. I saw an ad for the Oscar school on the back of 'The Irish Times,' and I went along for an audition, very pragmatically, to see if I could do it or not.

Liam Cunningham

I suppose I am a bit of rough. I'm originally from Coolock: I'm rough around the edges.

Liam Cunningham

I think everybody should have an interest in peace prevailing and the ridiculousness, the bestiality of war. I don't have any time for that. Anybody pulling a trigger is wrong. There is no right in war.

Liam Cunningham

I've got loads of ideas, but I need some structure in my life. I need a mission.

Liam Cunningham

On a job, there's so much commitment you have to give, in regards to time, research... I like the tunnel vision of it that prevents anything else from getting in. The creativity and collaboration required there is very rewarding.

Liam Cunningham

Whether it's theatre or TV or film, you're hoping you're going to bump into a writer that's got a bit of honour in him, that wants to tell a good story and is able to tell it well.

Liam Cunningham

I've never done a big series like 'Game of Thrones' before. All I knew was that it was HBO, and I'd seen what they had done with 'The Sopranos' and 'The Wire.' But when I started reading the script, it was a no-brainer. Yes, yes, yes. Gold. Every time I turned the page.

Liam Cunningham

I work like a dog when I have to, but when I'm not working, I get terribly lazy and could sit around all day.

Liam Cunningham

I was walking home from school when I was about 17 with two friends, and they took a left into an electrical shop. While we were chatting away, they grabbed a couple of forms and I was handed one. My mum found it and made me fill it in. I got called for an interview, and that's how I ended up being an electrician for 11 years.

Liam Cunningham

I've found that the older I get, the more spontaneous I become.

Liam Cunningham

I've always admired people like Donal McCann. He wasn't a household name, but if he put his name to something, you were guaranteed a good yarn at the very least.

Liam Cunningham

There's an old actor's saying about how you don't work with children or animals. I disagree with both of them. Some of the best times I've ever had were working with kids because there's an honesty to them.

Liam Cunningham

There's a certain amount of joy in playing a character in the moment and not knowing what's going to roll out as it goes on. It's a bit like life, in a way.

Liam Cunningham

You always have to have a bit of fun if somebody is dead in a scene. That's a red rag to a bull for an actor. You do a little poking. You do things to annoy the actor. It's your job. You have to utilize the opportunity. You have to get through the day.

Liam Cunningham

It's not beyond me to take my kids to see a good popcorn movie that's a roller coaster ride.

Liam Cunningham

Good luck to you if you're lucky enough to have faith. Some of us aren't lucky enough. My mother has great faith and finds great comfort in it, and I'm jealous of her!

Liam Cunningham

The only thing an actor can do is, whatever lands on the carpet in the hall, you read it, and if you can't put it down, that's the job to do.

Liam Cunningham

Because I came to acting quite late, I kind of think one of the few attributes that I do have is that I try to be honest with the character, with the writing. I'm not a tricksy actor; I'm not exactly a scenery-chewing kind of actor.

Liam Cunningham

Paris is cafe culture, Dublin is pub culture, and that's the best place to solve all the world's problems: over a pint! One of the great joys of living, I think. The problems of the world seem to disappear.

Liam Cunningham

The way I view drama is life with the boring bits taken out.

Liam Cunningham

The best thing you can do to an audience is to make them work.

Liam Cunningham

You have to look for story. That's obvious. If that's not on the page, you can forget it. But I also read whatever character I'm being offered. And if you can cut them out without it affecting the story, then I say no straight away.

Liam Cunningham

I'm an inner city man, born and bred.

Liam Cunningham

The demonization of people who don't have a voice is particularly despicable, and the only thing we can do in our own little way is hold a mirror up to society and kind of say we're better than that.

Liam Cunningham

When 'Games of Thrones' is finished, I'm not one to go on about it too long and rest on one's laurels. The stuff that interests me is the work.
