Quote

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.

I like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm.
Bill Nighy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn't help me. Precedents don't inform my experience.

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

Image
I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.
Bill Nighy
Image
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
Image
When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.
Bill Nighy
Image
I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.
Bill Nighy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.
Bill Nighy
Image
Anti-Semitism and Fascism have a long, mysterious, bewildering, poisonous and vile history and it's not exclusive to the Germans.
Bill Nighy
Image
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
Image
When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.

Image
More people saw me in 'Love Actually' than had seen me in everything else I had ever done up to that point.
