They're such hierarchical things, film sets, they're sort of mini societies. Often they're incredibly political places.

More quotes by Eddie Redmayne
Up there on the screen, we can all fly. But down here on earth, we need to be each others wings.
Eddie Redmayne
Making 'Birdsong,' on the one hand you have how prestigious it is and the reputation of the book, which is something that's an extraordinary piece of work. Sebastian Faulkes is a genius. So you feel that responsibility when you're portraying that character that he's imagined and millions of readers have pictured.
Eddie Redmayne
Actors who perhaps are super-confident and have absolute belief in themselves I always admire, because I can't really be like that.
Eddie Redmayne
I love the Potter films. I found them the most wonderful sort of escapism every year or two.
Eddie Redmayne
As an actor there's a lot of scrutiny and, even when you've had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for Robert De Niro there's Al Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro.
Eddie Redmayne
I did an interview once where I was asked who I found attractive and I went on about cartoons and Nala from 'The Lion King' - and it's a bit weird but various of my ex-girlfriends actually did look like Nala.
Eddie Redmayne
I think all actors have a similar deal. You want some people who understand. Although it looks great - and is great - there are also shoddy moments when you feel really rotten, and when it's going well, you're not allowed to complain.
Eddie Redmayne
Tequila is my salmon.
Eddie Redmayne
I'm just one gigantic ball of rancid fear and self-consciousness. I'm entirely fueled by fear, so the fact that I knew it could be a catastrophic disaster made me unable to sleep, and made me work quite hard.
Eddie Redmayne
I always think of comedy as being spontaneous, and yet everything about filmmaking is not spontaneous.
Eddie Redmayne
If you've loved something and then in some ways you become a part of it, you just don't want to be the one that screws it up!
Eddie Redmayne
In England we have this saying about Marmite: people either love it or hate it. That's like a lot of the movie work I've done. People either find it repulsive or find it really interesting and get engaged in it.
Eddie Redmayne
It's the weird thing Eton does - you're at school next to lords and earls and, in my case, Prince William, so you end up being used to dealing with those sorts of people.
Eddie Redmayne
If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in 'Richard II' on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am.
Eddie Redmayne
I go to the theater two or three times a week when I'm in London. Whereas I feel guilty going to the cinema in the middle of the afternoon.
Eddie Redmayne
I do get stopped a bit now and then, but I can go to the supermarket and on the Tube without being noticed. It's usually me that gets starstruck, especially by TV stars.
Eddie Redmayne
I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I'm a complete fruit loop.
Eddie Redmayne
It can be a miserable profession, acting, because you always want what you can’t have.
Eddie Redmayne
And you can't complain about kissing Emma Watson. Isn't that what everyone in the world wants to do? I've known Emma for a few years. She's this amazing capacity of young and vibrant and brilliant, but also a bright, intelligent old soul.
Eddie Redmayne
I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.
