The more you think that you are watching a show about sex, the more you ultimately are watching a show about the challenges of just connecting with human beings and being intimate.

What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.

When I was at drama school, I wanted to change the world, and thought I had some great wisdom to impart to people about humanity. Now that I'm older, I know enough to realise that I know nothing at all.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

Image
I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

Getting older is a struggle. I always feel that just under the surface of acceptance and enjoyment of the ageing process is a terrible hysteria just waiting to burst out.

We knew, very early on, that we had to be very, very clear that directors need to speak to actors and actresses and be very clear about what is expected, and find out whether they're comfortable with that. Wardrobe has to be in place. There have to be checks.

It's funny the more technological advanced everything gets, the more like acting in your bedroom when you're a kid it is.
Michael Sheen

Acting itself is quite scary. Some people say that actors are show-offs, very egotistical and all that kind of stuff, but it is quite scary.
Michael Sheen

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.
Michael Sheen

My taste in watching things runs from dramas and low-budget films to high-end fantasy/science fiction.

We see death constantly on film.

When you come to actually act, it's a game. It may be a very serious game, but it's still a game. If you lose that sense of play, the work suffers.
Michael Sheen
Image
My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life.
Michael Sheen
Image
I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.
Michael Sheen

It has to be absolutely believable. It's also going between images and scenes with nudity and sexuality that would be seen, in conventional terms, as kind of sexually exciting. It's up against things that are much more medical and gynecological, and notoriously we, as a culture and a society, have some issues with that kind of thing.

I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.

I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.
