Quote

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.

It's probably healthier to find fame later in life.

Image
Often in America people would assume that [as an English actor] you've had some sort of deep, classical training, or that you're a Shakespeare enthusiast. I have zero interest in me performing Shakespeare.
Bill Nighy
Image
I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.

Image
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.'

When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.

When you are in something that you're proud of and it's funny and it's a good night out and all of those things, there's nothing quite like it. The rewards are proportionate to the amount of alarm and distress it causes you.

I'm a jacket man. And if I'm without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don't know how to operate in shirt sleeves.

Image
There is something, yeah, I mean traditionally it's more fun to play bad guys than it is good guys and when you're playing a bad guy, yeah, the fun in it is to see how scary you can be, how horrible you can be. And it's surprising what you come up with.

I never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.

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
The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.
Bill Nighy
Image
All actors who have been around for a long time, which I have, and have been skint for long periods, which I have, find it difficult to turn down jobs. If I turn anything down my stomach turns over. I feel sick. It feels like gambling.
Bill Nighy
Image
I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.
Bill Nighy
Image
I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.
Bill Nighy
Image
When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.

Image
The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

I would like to change everything, but obviously not everything. I've been incredibly fortunate. I guess everybody would do this, but I'd go back to my younger self and say, Lighten up. Take it easy. Relax. Don't be so anxious about everything. Try to be in the day. Try to not have today stolen from you by anxiety about yesterday or tomorrow.

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.

Standing in front of a fake mountain with fake snow falling and seven girls dressed as Santarettes will stay in my memory.

I'm not a financial expert. The Robin Hood tax seems to me a very simple and beautiful idea. I don't see the problem.
