More quotes by 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
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 don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.
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
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
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.
Bill Nighy
I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.
Bill Nighy

Bill Nighy
There are only three men in the world who are licensed to wear shorts: Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise.
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
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
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
I love imaginative representations of a possible near-future, where you look at the technology and you think, Well, yeah, that could really nearly be true. I like those kinds of backgrounds.
Bill Nighy
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.'
Bill Nighy
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.
Bill Nighy
I do think 3D has seriously improved, since I was a boy. It's fabulous.
Bill Nighy
I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.
Bill Nighy
I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone.
