Colin Firth Quotes

Maybe it’s shallow of me to have a wife that’s so beautiful, but it makes things easier. To me she’s the most beautiful woman in the world Picture Quote #1

However good a communicator a director is, unless they’ve been actors, it’s just not the same as the shorthand you get with someone who’s been an actor Picture Quote #1

There’s a para-phrase about Orson Welles saying: Great films are made by great directors and the rest are made by everyone else. I’ve been very lucky... before I start insulting the profession of directing, but I think a good director is everything and a bad director really is nothing at all Picture Quote #1

It’s a funny thing - the reality is I have no feelings about school. It’s long gone. Funnily enough, the bad memories - of which I don’t have any left to be honest, I can just remember a sense of tedium - have faded. And teachers that I liked have remained quite vivid. There are three or four left Picture Quote #1

The way I’ve described Helen’s sort of rigorous honesty I just think he also has tremendously. It’s very strange... he just has this sort of way of making it happen really. You’re not really aware of being directed, so much as being a part of this thing Picture Quote #1

But this is where you get all the market research and things get in danger of becoming formulaic, and where you depend on brands and getting recognised actors. It’s the thing that precludes risk very often, otherwise everyone would be avant-garde all over the place Picture Quote #1

Nothing brings you closer together than blind terror Picture Quote #1

I’ll be your friend so long as you’re not crap Picture Quote #1

They’re not bombarding me with offers, although the ones that have come along have been too preposterous to contemplate, so it’s not as if I spend every day resisting $20 million pay cheques Picture Quote #1

It does help to actually realize that however stunning the person who is, you know, fluttering eyelashes at you, she doesn’t do anything to match up to your wife Picture Quote #1

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that; it's the way one is raised Picture Quote #1

I absolutely don’t care about my looks and I’m so used to them that I wouldn’t change a thing. I would end up missing my defects Picture Quote #1

Almost every comedy you see is about people making all wrong choices and making all the errors of judgement possible. Good comedy is when it works on this scale. Because it is psychologically very real Picture Quote #1

As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I’m not greedy for that stuff Picture Quote #1

I haven’t had to struggle very much. I haven’t paid my dues. I think I have been lucky Picture Quote #1

I work with the options I have in front of me and my reasons for choosing a job can vary enormously depending on the circumstances. Sometimes I take a job because it’s a group of people I’m dying to work with, and sometimes it can be a desire to shake things up a bit and not to take myself too seriously Picture Quote #1

I would rather five people knew my work and thought it was good work than five million knew me and were indifferent Picture Quote #1

It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there’s usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another Picture Quote #1

Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they’re doing Picture Quote #1

My looks aren’t something that come dazzlingly through in everything I do. I can be made to look one way or the other fairly easily... I am still not recognised on the street that much Picture Quote #1

My primary instinct as an actor is not the big transformation. It’s thrilling if a performer can do that well, but that’s not me. Often with actors, it’s a case of witnessing a big party piece but wondering afterwards, where’s the substance? Picture Quote #1

The last thing I would attempt to do is to buy clothes for a child I didn’t know well Picture Quote #1
