More quotes by Alfred Molina
I love working fast. I don't relish the director who wants to do 25 to 30 takes, or the actors who insist on doing 25 or 30 takes.
Alfred Molina
I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.
Alfred Molina
And I think it's because good cons are all based on the victim's need, and the successful con artist is the one, I guess, who can exploit that. I remember reading something about this, that one of the great traits of confidence tricksters is the level that they flatter their victim.
Alfred Molina
If anything, as a general rule, the cheaper the movie the more creative the experience, generally speaking. Its not to denigrate expensive movies. I dont want to seem biting the hands that feed me, but with big movies, especially with a lot of effects, the role of the actor is somewhat diminished.
Alfred Molina
I love playing villains.
Alfred Molina
I think it would be a problem if Hollywood was casting British actors only as villains if that were the case, then certainly there would be cause for concern.
Alfred Molina
Even at drama school if there was a part of some eastern European thug it would be me.
Alfred Molina
Character actors aren't a brand in the same way that high-profile leading men are.
Alfred Molina
You're suspended sixty feet up in the air, you've been up there for three hours, and all the shot requires is that you have to sort of react to getting punched in the head.
Alfred Molina
Music is an essential part of my life and I'm completely lost without a good album to listen to or my iPod in my pocket!
Alfred Molina
I'm not qualified to do anything else. So there better be another job. I'm kind of stuck now. I'm enjoying my life and I'm enjoying my work, and I'm enjoying the fact that the work I'm doing is garnering some interest and that's great. I just hope that it continues.
Alfred Molina
I do remember being a fan of the Marvel characters and not liking the DC characters at all.
Alfred Molina
When I was younger I was always big I was a fat boy at school. I had an early growth spurt, and when I went to secondary school I was tall enough to be a policeman.
Alfred Molina
I've worked with actors who treat the first two takes like rehearsals. And that's okay. If the camera is on you and we're doing a scene where I'm off camera, I'm treating that as a rehearsal.
Alfred Molina
Every job is different. I don't think that I've ever had that wonderful feeling when you've finished a job or where you feel like you've mastered it or sort of nailed it... You can never be satisfied. If you're satisfied, it's time to retire.
Alfred Molina
I've always been terrified about being bored. I always think being bored is the worst thing. The only strategic decision I ever made as an actor was to try and make each job as different as possible.
Alfred Molina
I love the theatre. It's a perfect life for an actor: you can do a couple of movies and then go and do a play, and then go back and do another movie. It's a nice way to live your life.
Alfred Molina
My father was a waiter basically, and when I got my first professional job as an actor, I left a job that he found me for half the amount of money. So anyone would think that they're stupid, that that would be a stupid move.
Alfred Molina
My wife and I use a lot of garlic and rosemary with roast lamb. It has to be New Zealand lamb. The domestic variety is too gamy, in my experience.
Alfred Molina
When I look back on my career - if that's what it is - it looks a bit like a crazy quilt, and I think it's just really because, when one job has finished, I've never really been in a position where I had three or four options.
Alfred Molina
