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.

More quotes by Bill Nighy
I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.
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
When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.
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
I do think 3D has seriously improved, since I was a boy. It's fabulous.
Bill Nighy
I'm not a World War II buff. I know a little bit about it, I was taught the other side of the story in school, so it was unfamiliar to me, the idea of a German resistance, and yet it was considerable.
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 never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.
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'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
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
The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.
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
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'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.
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
I'm lucky that I get to play a wide variety of parts.
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
Standing in front of a fake mountain with fake snow falling and seven girls dressed as Santarettes will stay in my memory.
