More quotes by Michael Sheen
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
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.
Michael Sheen
I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
Michael Sheen
By the time you are 30 you are still trying to make your 15-year-old self happy but you are a different person. You need to be brave and let go of that.
Michael Sheen
My taste in watching things runs from dramas and low-budget films to high-end fantasy/science fiction.
Michael Sheen
My dad is a Jack Nicholson lookalike and a frustrated performer, my mother's into reading and poetry. I suppose the thing I owe them most is my confidence.
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.
Michael Sheen
Having said that, what I think we found, in doing the show, and in life, generally, is that the more you try to separate sex from everything else, it's impossible. You can't. The act of observation affects the actual experiment, and we see that in this.
Michael Sheen
Everyone deserves compassion.
Michael Sheen
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.
Michael Sheen
While I enjoy spending time in L.A., Britain is my home.
Michael Sheen
Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.
Michael Sheen
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.
Michael Sheen
I remember someone said to me, Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep. Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.
Michael Sheen
I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
Michael Sheen
So, if they're coming in and having to do scenes that involve nudity or sexuality, in some way, the utmost important thing is that everyone feels comfortable and safe. If there's any gray area, that's going to be a problem.
Michael Sheen
We see death constantly on film.
Michael Sheen
I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.
Michael Sheen
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
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.
