More quotes by 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
I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.
Michael Sheen
I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.
Michael Sheen
I can be a lazy dresser.
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 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
I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
Michael Sheen
My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life.
