More quotes by Michael Sheen
Well, I think tone is very important with this show [Masters of Sex] because there are certain elements or certain aspects to the show that may be reminiscent of other shows. But, it really is a very new kind of show, in terms of the subject matter and the way it's being dealt with, and the fact that it's about real people and real events.
Michael Sheen
We live in a bubble of the fantasy of death, but the reality of it is something that we obviously all face and have to deal with, at some point.
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 enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
Michael Sheen
I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.
Michael Sheen
Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality. The more fantastical characters, or fantastical worlds that they inhabit are really fun and allow you, in some ways, to tell stories and reveal things about our lives that would be harder to take, in a more realistic setting.
Michael Sheen
I can be a lazy dresser.
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
We see death constantly on film.
Michael Sheen
My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life.
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
While I enjoy spending time in L.A., Britain is my home.
Michael Sheen
Everyone deserves compassion.
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
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
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
'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
My rule of thumb is that I want to do things I'd like to go and see myself.
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
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
