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.

More quotes by Eddie Redmayne
Tequila is my salmon.
Eddie Redmayne
Listen, acting is not surgery, it's entertainment. You're doing something to hopefully move people, to make them laugh, to transport them. But actors are vulnerable, and the reason we're vulnerable is that we're always trying to recreate human behaviour.
Eddie Redmayne
It can be a miserable profession, acting, because you always want what you can’t have.
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 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
I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I'm a complete fruit loop.
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 love the Potter films. I found them the most wonderful sort of escapism every year or two.
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 always think of comedy as being spontaneous, and yet everything about filmmaking is not spontaneous.
Eddie Redmayne
My first film, 'Like Minds,' was with Toni Colette, who was extraordinary. I mean it was basically a mini-masterclass for acting on film at a time when all you could probably see were my eyebrows bouncing up and down on screen.
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
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
They're such hierarchical things, film sets, they're sort of mini societies. Often they're incredibly political places.
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
I find that what doubt does, or fear, is it makes you come up with as many ideas as you possibly can. And on film that works 'cause you're then handing over that fear to the director, who has to make sense of all those options!
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'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
Ladies and babies, and mortgages, for that matter, can all wait. Acting has done a strange thing to me, though. I often sit there, thinking, 'I love this, but I wouldn't put my daughter on the stage.'
Eddie Redmayne
Two years ago, I shot 'Pillars of the Earth' in Budapest - it was a big part, but I had a lot of time to sit around and visit cafes.
