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.

More quotes by Bill Nighy
I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.
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
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 hardly even leave my own house.
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 guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.
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
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
I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.
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
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.
Bill Nighy
I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.
Bill Nighy
I'm lucky that I get to play a wide variety of parts.
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
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
I think in the old days, everybody used to act really quickly because Hollywood was built by theatre people.
Bill Nighy
When you are in something that you're proud of and it's funny and it's a good night out and all of those things, there's nothing quite like it. The rewards are proportionate to the amount of alarm and distress it causes you.
Bill Nighy
I'm not a royal family watcher.
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.
