More quotes by Michael Sheen
Americans are much more open than people in Britain.
Michael Sheen
'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being the difference between sanity and insanity the meaning of life and death what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.
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
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 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
I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.
Michael Sheen
While I enjoy spending time in L.A., Britain is my home.
Michael Sheen
Everyone deserves compassion.
Michael Sheen
You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.
Michael Sheen
We see death constantly on film.
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
My own daughter is a big fan of the 'Twilight' stories, the books.
Michael Sheen
What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.
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
I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
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
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
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 suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.
Michael Sheen
I can be a lazy dresser.
Michael Sheen
