More quotes by Bill Nighy

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
There are only three men in the world who are licensed to wear shorts: Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise.
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 have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.
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 have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.
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
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
I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.
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
I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.
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
Anti-Semitism and Fascism have a long, mysterious, bewildering, poisonous and vile history and it's not exclusive to the Germans.
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 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
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
