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.
Jude Law

I don't consider myself any great sage of fashion or style, whatever people may want to think.

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'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 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
There are always seasons to a career and perhaps always the grass is often greener, you're often looking at other people's careers going, Damn, they get all the good roles. Why didn't I read that? Why didn't they ask me to do that?
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
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 think the message of peace is for everyone.

Image
In a weird way, it’s kind of a relief to think, ‘Oh, I know I’m not that young sort of pretty thing anymore.’ It’s quite nice talking about what it was like to be the young pretty thing, rather than being it.

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 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.
Jude Law
Image
I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about.
Jude Law
Image
I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself.
