More quotes by Bill Nighy
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
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.
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
It's probably healthier to find fame later in life.
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn't keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.
Bill Nighy
Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.
Bill Nighy
The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.
Bill Nighy
When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.
Bill Nighy
The job is the same - to attempt to make it sound like you've never said it before and as if it's just occurred to you. And that's the same whether you're on camera or whether you're on stage in a room full of people.
Bill Nighy
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
My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant, and it was infectious.
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
One of the reasons I like a suit is because I've never been that keen on my body. The shape a suit presents is always going to be better than anything I can do.
Bill Nighy
I never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.
Bill Nighy
I'm not a royal family watcher.
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.
Bill Nighy
I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long!
Bill Nighy
