More quotes by 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
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.
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 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.
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
If you ask any actor What single thing would make you really, really happy? Among the top five things they'd say is not having to audition anymore.
Bill Nighy
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.
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
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 crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.
Bill Nighy
You get older and you see yourself and say, 'God, he's old, who's that?'
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
If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.
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
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
I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone.
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
I did actually sit down with a blank sheet of paper once. I think the phone rang and that was the end of my literary career.
Bill Nighy
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.
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.
