More quotes by Michael Sheen
Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.
Michael Sheen
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.
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
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
I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
Michael Sheen
I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
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
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
What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.
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
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
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
Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.
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 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
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
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
I think when you work on a Woody Allen film the actors become a real company, probably more than on any other film.
Michael Sheen
I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.
Michael Sheen
I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.
