Firth - all dodgy 'tache and frantic eyebrows - has got the sexual allure of a man who runs a swingers' club in Surbiton.

More quotes by Colin Firth
I do also think it eludes genre a bit - not in any groundbreaking way but you can't quite call it a comedy and you can't quite call it a romantic anything. It's not quite a drama either really. But it has elements of all those things.
Colin Firth
It's a very dangerous state. You are inclined to recklessness and kind of tune out the rest of your life and everything that's been important to you. It's actually not all that pleasurable. I don't know who the hell wants to get in a situation where you can't bear an hour without somebody's company.
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
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.
Colin Firth
Just driving I just was in a car on flat ground and I couldn't make it go. Having ticked driving and taken three driving lessons, I just was unable to produce any motion whatsoever under perfectly normal circumstances. I think we've all been busted on driving, and riding.
Colin Firth
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.
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
I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
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
Hollywood hasn't aggressively pursued me. Neither have I aggressively pursued Hollywood.
Colin Firth
Bridget Jones is part of literary lore now and actually to be a part of it is enormously flattering.
Colin Firth
People have the idea of missionaries as going out with the Bible and hitting natives with it. It's not really what they were doing. They were all doing something rather different.
Colin Firth
I'll be your friend so long as you're not crap
Colin Firth
I do think I'm a character actor.
Colin Firth
It's hard to get yourself into a position where someone will trust you to direct a film anyway, whatever sex you are. Certainly in England, the film set is a very male preserve. There's a lot of very rough looking men pushing equipment around that don't want the gaffer to be a girl.
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
As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I'm not greedy for that stuff.
Colin Firth
Something like Shakespeare in Love, which became such an established hit that it now seems like a foregone conclusion... but it really wasn't. The script was around for a very, very long time and had people chickening out all the time.
Colin Firth
When I visited coffee farms in Ethiopia, the farmers could not believe we spend a week's wages in their country on a cup of coffee in ours, because they see so little of the profits. Oxfam's fair trade campaign helps right this wrong.
Colin Firth
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.
Colin Firth
