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.

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 do think 3D has seriously improved, since I was a boy. It's fabulous.

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

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

To be serious, the things you really want to relive are things like bedtime with your daughter when she becomes incredibly entertaining 'cause she doesn't want to go to sleep. They're at their most enchanting 'cause they just want to put it off, so they do a cabaret for you. You sit there thinking, Please don't let this end.

I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long!

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.

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

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

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.

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 think in the old days, everybody used to act really quickly because Hollywood was built by theatre people.

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.

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.
