More quotes by Cary Elwes
I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.

The visceral experience of seeing a movie in three dimensions, coming at you in the theater, is obviously here to stay, because it is a unique experience. I think that kind of format is only appropriate for some genres, but I'm all for it.
Cary Elwes
New York has the best tap water.

There's a myth about actors saying, 'Oh no, that's not me on screen at all. I'm just acting.' OK, if I were to say to you that's not me, that's fine. And I would tell you that I don't behave like a villain everyday, and that's true, I don't. But to say there's absolutely none of me in there is ridiculous.
Cary Elwes
The things that you know intellectually when you're young become internalized as you get older. You realize all those clichés.
Cary Elwes
I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.
Cary Elwes
No one is black and white or good or bad or happy or sad or what have you. [All have] particular idiosyncrasies that make them fascinating and that's how I tend to approach a character.
Cary Elwes
I consider myself a student, both in my work and my life, and I'm constantly learning and I'm constantly grateful for that.
Cary Elwes
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Cary Elwes
My real father was a portrait painter. I went to a lot of auctions as a kid and galleries.
Cary Elwes
I've been doing some writing, which I find very cathartic and fun.
Cary Elwes
I think that's all you can hope for as an actor when you read a script that after the first thirty pages it has some meaning to it.
Cary Elwes
I take away something from every role. I'm still learning and that's what life is about.
