More quotes by 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.
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 rule of thumb is that I want to do things I'd like to go and see myself.
Michael Sheen
On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions.
Michael Sheen
It's interesting that in searching for monsters to play you often end up playing leaders.
Michael Sheen
What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.
Michael Sheen
I find increasingly that the more extreme are the things going on in your life, the more cultural reference points fail you. More mythical reference points actually help, and you realize that's what myths are for. It's for human beings to process their experience in extremis.
Michael Sheen
With vampires, there is such a great tradition that you suddenly find yourself a part of. Each generation reinvents what that means to them.
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
You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.
Michael Sheen
I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.
Michael Sheen
I think the story of 'Alice in Wonderland' in a way is a reminder that life is frightening, it can shift on you at any moment.
Michael Sheen
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.
Michael Sheen
I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.
Michael Sheen
Americans are much more open than people in Britain.
Michael Sheen
I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.
Michael Sheen
I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
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
I think I'm becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I'll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It's more of an actor's medium. You are your own editor, nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.
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.
