Quote

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.

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

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

It's funny the more technological advanced everything gets, the more like acting in your bedroom when you're a kid it is.

I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.
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.

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.

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.

What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.

I can be a lazy dresser.
Michael Sheen

Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.
Michael Sheen
Image
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.

I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.
