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.

Hollywood hasn't aggressively pursued me. Neither have I aggressively pursued Hollywood.

The skill of a good actor is to make it always seem like you're in that fantastically spontaneous moment. Very often, a stand-up comedian has a different instinct, which is to reinvent. Once you've laid down some material, and made them laugh, you move on and find some new material.

No matter how much technique you draw on or how much training you have, acting is a mystery.
Colin Firth

Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they're doing.

The Hollywood Foreign Press have just given me a time out from my 20-year midlife crisis. My heartfelt thanks to them.

As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I'm not greedy for that stuff.

I can't bring you absolute truth in the detailed factual sense. All I can do is bring you an interpretation as I understand it. That's all you can ever get from an actor.

On his fight scene with Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones: It was a delicious experience.

In filming you're waiting. You're waiting for lights. You're waiting for people set things up. And when you're not waiting, you're repeating. And neither is conducive to spontaneity, you know. Comedy makes you very, very neurotic because you think, I - but did I nail it?

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.

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that it's the way one is raised.

I don't know if there's a problem with original ideas... I think a healthy film industry should have a good supply of good, original writing.

Comedy - particularly the frothy and frivolous - is notoriously neglected by festivals and awards. But it's bloody hard to get right.

I love you even when you're sick and look disgusting.

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.

I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy's is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science, in a way. And when you're filming, the thing comedy depends on becomes a much more difficult commodity. The thing you depend on is spontaneity.

It's entirely to do with personality, I think. There are good directors who talk a lot, bad directors who talk a lot, and good directors who don't say much and vice-versa. It just depends on whether people respond to that personality and whether people have a willingness to do something for them.

Whenever you take on playing a villain, he has to cease to be a villain to you. If you judge this man by his time, he's doing very little wrong.

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.
