Zitat des Tages von Martin Freeman:
Disappointment is an endless wellspring of comedy inspiration.
I'm just a sucker for a good script.
You're not fully you until life has booted you in the behind.
'The Hobbit's a big gig. It's a huge circus that you become a part of.
If you're alive for more than five minutes, you're going to be disappointed.
I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
Most people aren't these grandstanding heroes.
If you are a plumber, you can work on a shed, or you can work on a mansion. It's just scale.
I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other films and I don't particularly like any other actors.
My first engagement with any art was music.
My default state is wariness.
I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.
I've been doing interviews for years, and in all that time, I've virtually never read one and gone, 'Yep, factually and tonally that's exactly what happened.' Pretty much never.
I've got an overly developed sense of what selling out is, and I of course worry about it too much.
I don't think it was a surprise that I ended up as an actor, and it was anything but a disappointment.
I hadn't grown up with 'The Hobbit;' I hadn't grown up with 'Lord of The Rings,' anything like that.
I've got no anti-America or anti-Hollywood kick, it's just that I never wanted to go and kick my heels around L.A. for six months hoping something would happen.
People misunderstand me.
I love a good suit.
My mum was Labour-voting, but wanted us to know we were important. Basically, everyone's equal, but you, my children, are a bit better.
I've never been to a festival. I'm a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa's squishy. Maybe too squishy - it's hard to get up sometimes.
I buy DVDs. I don't really buy CDs unless they're for other people.
I wanted to be an actor because I saw 'Dog Day Afternoon,' you know what I mean?
The reason I've never gone for pilot season even as a younger actor, and wouldn't entertain that sort of thing now, is the idea of signing a piece of paper that binds me for six or seven years.
We all know that people who've never been on a film set think it's way more glamorous than the people who work on them.
You could say I'm a mod, but with a small 'm'; I don't wear a parka, but I do question what I wear and what I listen to, which is what it's all about.
Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think they should dress like Hamlet off stage.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.
It's more fun to keep stuff secret.
I would wear a full-length cape if I could get away with it - I do love a good swirl in a fog.
I was probably cool around the end of 2002.
I've always loved Christmas and that's not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It's always a magical time and I'm unashamed in my love for Christmas.
I hate the fact that so much of our life is computerised rather than mechanised.
Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style.
Acting is the only thing I'm even vaguely good at and acting is something that I think I do know about.
I look like the man in the moon.
