More quotes by Bill Nighy
I like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm.
Bill Nighy
A way of describing performances that I admire is that there is an absence of careerism. It's a clumsy way of describing it but it sort of does it for me.
Bill Nighy
I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.
Bill Nighy
It's probably healthier to find fame later in life.
Bill Nighy
I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.
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
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 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
Anti-Semitism and Fascism have a long, mysterious, bewildering, poisonous and vile history and it's not exclusive to the Germans.
Bill Nighy
When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.
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'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
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
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
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
The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.
Bill Nighy
When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.
Bill Nighy
Standing in front of a fake mountain with fake snow falling and seven girls dressed as Santarettes will stay in my memory.
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
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.
