Quote

I'm not Tom Cruise. Very few British actors are. If you look at the body of work I've done it's pretty obvious I'm not going to make a 'Mission: Impossible.'

I was an optimist, a great champion of the human spirit. And I lost that for a time. I feel like I've regained a bit of that in the last few years but there was a period of my life in which I had a very low opinion of people in general.

I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.

Image
Success, and even life itself, wouldn't be worth anything if I didn't have my wife and children by my side. They mean everything to me.

I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.

A job is not just a job. It’s who you are.

When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centers on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.

When you step back and watch people, you realize that we use every single body part. Movement, dance - I find it genius because it's ultimate expression, really.

I'm a massive comic book fan. I was buying weekly installments of The Watchmen, and From Hell, and Parallax and Johnny Nemo. I was a huge comic book fan as a kid and I still am. Me and my youngest son are both comic book nerds together make models and stuff.

I've always liked what Thomas More said in Utopia, which is that in Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliant.

Image
I think everyone goes through chapters in their life and there was a time when I wasn't feeling terribly positive about what I was contributing to film, or wasn't feeling as if I was going in the direction I wanted and I re-evaluated what I was doing.
Jude Law
Image
Landing a role now is not based on my looks - more on my acting ability.
Jude Law
Image
I sometimes shy away because I don't want to be too 'showy-offy' but the older I get I think, 'You have a handkerchief, put it in your pocket.'
Jude Law
Image
There is no defence for my actions which I sincerely regret. [on an affair with nanny Daisy Wright]

I've always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role I'd rather be the Wicked Witch.

The other nice thing about the robes is that they keep you cool in the summer, and we were filming sometimes in Rome, where it was sometimes over 100 degrees.

Women like bad boys…Being a good boy never worked for me.

Image
There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good.
