More quotes by 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 used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.
Bill Nighy
I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.
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
Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.
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 I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.
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
More people saw me in 'Love Actually' than had seen me in everything else I had ever done up to that point.
Bill Nighy
I'm not a royal family watcher.
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 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
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.
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 never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.
Bill Nighy
Standing in front of a fake mountain with fake snow falling and seven girls dressed as Santarettes will stay in my memory.
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
You tell yourself that you're not auditioning but of course you work like crazy, and you prepare like mad. And you think, Well, I won't get that job. But maybe they'll have another job sometime, and they'll remember that I was good.
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 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.'
