More quotes by Colin Farrell

Image
I was never an A student, but I was really well behaved until I was 13 or so.
Colin Farrell
Image
I just adored working in London. It was in London where I first had the idea of making a film.
Colin Farrell
Image
My Mum taught me great manners. And she always told me that you can be or do whatever in life, as long as you don't hurt anyone and you're happy. My Mum's great I adore her.
Colin Farrell
Image
You move on. It's work. Yeah, I'm privileged and paid handsomely and it's not exactly being in a coal mine, but you still work your ass off and you work as hard as you possibly can and you hope that people connect to it and enjoy it.
Colin Farrell
Image
Seven years sober. I'm really grateful. It's really lovely to be present in my life.
Colin Farrell
Image
I've started films like Miami Vice where I'm in really good shape and I look back on that film and see the moustache is bigger as I've got a larger face.
Colin Farrell
Image
Desperation will allow you to do incredible things in the name of survival.
Colin Farrell
Image
I think people enjoy The Lobster because people respond to original things, but I think they only respond to original things if they connect to some truths within us.
Colin Farrell
Image
That's the process of making the film and it isn't until the world puts their eyes to it that you find out if it's creating any kind of connection at all. But every single film at some stage of the film I think, I wonder what this is going to be?
Colin Farrell
Image
I never think I'm capable of any of [action movies]! I'm always terrified, but luckily on this one it was directed by my husband [Len Wiseman]. 'I can't possibly do it. I'm too scared, I can't do it.' He says: 'Go on. DO it!' So it is shocking as I'm not one of those people who finds that stuff easy.
Colin Farrell
Image
I know what the important things are in life. I know that just because I pretend to be someone else for two hours on the silver screen doesn't make me a better person than the next man. So, I mind all those things. Simple things.
Colin Farrell
Image
I love the grandiosity, how sweepingly entertaining films can be. And I think there's a place for films that pry more into the human condition.
Colin Farrell
Image
Yeah loads of bruises and welts, usually around the hip, arse, thigh region and elbows. Elbows got knocked up big time, but it was so much fun. I hadn't done a meaty action film in seven or eight years, so it was fun to explore that aspect of storytelling again.
Colin Farrell
Image
I'm not going to lie, there are more interesting ways to spend your time than answering questions about yourself. But if there were no questions to ask me, I might have a beef with that.
Colin Farrell
Image
I will say that as I get older and calmer and quieter in my own self, the one quality in a woman that I find more and more attractive is kindness. A sense of adventure and humor is important too, but I truly find kindness and consideration for others to be the most attractive thing in anyone.
Colin Farrell
Image
There are so many interpretations that this film [The Lobster] could be approached from. But Yorgos [Lanthimos] is so specifically minded, he's so clinical in his direction of the film.
Colin Farrell
Image
I take acting very seriously. I put everything I have and know into it.
Colin Farrell
Image
Making a film, you're in a really dark tunnel and the only kind of illumination is the shared experience you're having with your fellow cast and director.
Colin Farrell
Image
I think I'm still trying to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain't brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot.
Colin Farrell
Image
I have hope. I have no expectations.
