When I look in the mirror, I don't see my Dad, I see my grandmother. For a while it was my mother looking back at me. If only it was my Dad.

More quotes by Colin Firth
The Hollywood Foreign Press have just given me a time out from my 20-year midlife crisis. My heartfelt thanks to them.
Colin Firth
I work with the options I have in front of me and my reasons for choosing a job can vary enormously depending on the circumstances. Sometimes I take a job because it's a group of people I'm dying to work with, and sometimes it can be a desire to shake things up a bit and not to take myself too seriously.
Colin Firth
Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they're doing.
Colin Firth
It was mainly to do with Helen Hunt, to be honest. That's what drew my attention to it. I was interested in the fact that she was going to be directing. I'd never met her but she projects a degree of intelligence and it was convincing t me that she'd be able to handle this sort of material very well.
Colin Firth
I was delighted to become a popular-culture reference point. I'm still delighted about it actually, and I still find it to be weird.
Colin Firth
It's a funny thing - the reality is I have no feelings about school. It's long gone. Funnily enough, the bad memories - of which I don't have any left to be honest, I can just remember a sense of tedium - have faded. And teachers that I liked have remained quite vivid. There are three or four left.
Colin Firth
Sometimes to think about why some institutions are stable, it's interesting to go one generation back and look at the author of that stability.
Colin Firth
I often think it can often be very difficult for comedians to revisit the same gag. I think Russell's a bit more than a comedian.
Colin Firth
I never saw myself as Mr. Ugly, but I'm not that handsome. I can sort of be made to look quite a lot better or quite a lot worse.
Colin Firth
I think England has served me very well. I like living in London for the reasons I gave. I have absolutely no intentions of cutting those ties. There is absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly not, so that I can have a swimming pool and a palm tree.
Colin Firth
Bridget Jones is part of literary lore now and actually to be a part of it is enormously flattering.
Colin Firth
If I were to write a book about the progress of getting to a third film, it would be a long one.
Colin Firth
Firth - all dodgy 'tache and frantic eyebrows - has got the sexual allure of a man who runs a swingers' club in Surbiton.
Colin Firth
I haven't had to struggle very much. I haven't paid my dues. I think I have been lucky.
Colin Firth
Maybe it's shallow of me to have a wife that's so beautiful, but it makes things easier. To me she's the most beautiful woman in the world.
Colin Firth
It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there's usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another.
Colin Firth
I thought I was managing my expectations, but on hearing the news I discovered new and unfamiliar vocal tones. Perhaps I should do another musical.
Colin Firth
They said: Make it in this amount of time and go for it now... Which is why I was suddenly ambushed and we all found ourselves doing it. I suspect this wasn't quite recognisable in its genre to give people the confidence just to throw money at it.
Colin Firth
However good a communicator a director is, unless they've been actors, it's just not the same as the shorthand you get with someone who's been an actor.
Colin Firth
But this is where you get all the market research and things get in danger of becoming formulaic, and where you depend on brands and getting recognised actors. It's the thing that precludes risk very often, otherwise everyone would be avant-garde all over the place.
Colin Firth
