Robert Carlyle Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Robert Carlyle:

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.

To pursue a career in Hollywood you have to have a personality bypass. Look at the top 20 stars in the world - there's probably only two actors among them. Hollywood's not about you as an actor. It's about your currency, what you 'bring to the table'. And I've never been one to jump through hoops for anyone.

Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.

Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting.

People go to the movies to watch a film and all they're thinking about is the actress's cellulite they saw in a magazine.

A lot of the characters I play have problems, they are marginalised, they have serious psychological problems, problems with relationships, with childhood. These are big subjects, big subjects. You can't balk at work like that. As an actor, that's as good as it gets.

The U.K. and the U.S. are very different countries, and it really shows in the television.

Robert Carlyle

Every actor I think has got their own number of takes that they like, you know. Some actors like to go all day, you know on the one scene and some actors want to take two takes. I personally like four.

Robert Carlyle

I used to be a rabid reader, but now it's scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can't drop the ball.

Robert Carlyle

Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.

If there's anything you want to ask your parents, ask them before they go, because once they go, they're gone.

The more people know about an actor the less convincing they become. A bit of mystery's a good thing.

It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.

I have a reputation for being an improvisational actor, which is true, but I also know what I'm doing so that if the improvisational strand doesn't work I can go back to what I know's already there.

Robert Carlyle

The first thing you should know about me is when I was three years old my mother left me and my father. And that was traumatic obviously for my father - he suffered a nervous breakdown at that time in his life.

Robert Carlyle

I'm not someone who believes in wasting my vote.

My first love is art, and I see a lot of things in an artistic way.
