Zitat des Tages von Rufus Sewell:
At times, I think of my career as a map. The closer you get to the map, the more you know where you are, but the closer I get to my career, the less happy I feel. At the same time, I have carved out the career for myself which I wanted.
People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.
When I left drama school, my fear was that I'd get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite.
I'd like an omelet named after me.
If my British film career was a girl, then I'd been hanging around outside her apartment a little bit too long.
Billy is a funny, cheeky, lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it's going to collapse on his head.
For a long time, I didn't give anything my all. I was so afraid that I'd be crap, so I held myself back.
I don't know why the universe is so determined to keep my feet on the ground.
It's nice when women fancy me, but I think I will only disappoint them so I prefer it if they don't know who I am.
My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son's perspective.
I no longer have a style to maintain. I rent a little flat in Los Angeles, I don't take holidays, I don't dine out and I take cheap flights.
I've always liked the idea of regularly doing a play but I was offered things which I felt were too 'celebie' and West Endy.
I was a very undisciplined person but acting was something that actually motivated me to get up in the morning. I hadn't experienced that before, but it was something that really excited me. I think I could be quite self-conscious and it gave me a release.
As a person I'm perfectly vain, I'm just vainer as an actor about my ability. My acting vanity trumps my human vanity.
I don't know if the money I've earned is going to need to last me for the next few weeks or the rest of my life.
I've always believed very, very strongly that the way you treat people is more important than anything, professionally or otherwise.
Of course, I want to look good, as that helped me get jobs. But it didn't get me the jobs I wanted and it held me back.
I think if a character appeals to you, there are certain parts of yourself will come to the fore and other parts that will play down.
I do as much comedy as I possibly can, but I'm basically limited by the imagination of the secretaries who make the decisions.
For me, if I were to be at home in any kind of style, it is more comedy than anything else.
I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.
It's important to me to be in a relationship when I'm in one, but I'm not someone who needs to be in a relationship.
Yes, years of compromise and disappointment have added depth to my acting.
