When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.
Bill Nighy

One of my great regrets, and I don't have many, is that I spent too long putting people's status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities. I learned far too late in life that a long list of letters after someone's name is no guarantee of compassion, kindness, humour, all the far more relevant stuff.

I've always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I'm an actor, but felt sorry for me because they'd never seen anything I've done.

I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.

I'm not an actor who consciously accesses bits of my life, in order to play parts. Obviously, you don't need to have been a father to play one, otherwise everyone who's been a father would be able to act.

With stage, you feel completely like you're just in a bubble. I love not being able to see anything. I love coming out and I can't see anything because the lights are so bright and it's pitch black. That's ideal for me, that's when I have the best time.

I don't do plays without jokes anymore. I've retired from those plays. I think it's bad manners to invite people to sit in the dark for two and a half hours and not tell them the joke.

If you are supposed to be villainous and have some sort of agenda, I like the idea of delivering that kind of character in a perfectly well-mannered way.

Image
I'm not good at watching myself which I think is perfectly natural. I don't give myself a hard time about it. I am the worst critic.
Bill Nighy
Image
A way of describing performances that I admire is that there is an absence of careerism. It's a clumsy way of describing it but it sort of does it for me.
Bill Nighy
Image
I really have no interest in delivering the iambic pentameter, I just want to kill myself. I don't mind other people doing it. I say that, but really I don't want to watch other people doing it. I get embarrassed.

If you ask any actor What single thing would make you really, really happy? Among the top five things they'd say is not having to audition anymore.

When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.

Image
As you get older you feel you need to pay more attention to what is around you and relish it. I'm greedy for beauty.

When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.

In the street, people talk to you about all kinds of things, but by far, the most number of people talk to me about Love, Actually.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

You have all these plans to act, and maybe do it rather elegantly, and then they turn the rain machine on.

I am a fan of rehearsal. I like doing it [scene] over and over and over and over until it looks like you never did it before.

I quoted David Hare one of his lines the other day to illuminate whatever point we were trying to make in the conversation, and I said 'What play was that?' and he said 'It was your line, you said it about a hundred and fifty times in The Vertical Hour.'
