More quotes by 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 live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.
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
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
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
I can be a lazy dresser.
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 don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
Michael Sheen
Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.
Michael Sheen
My own daughter is a big fan of the 'Twilight' stories, the books.
Michael Sheen
By the time you are 30 you are still trying to make your 15-year-old self happy but you are a different person. You need to be brave and let go of that.
Michael Sheen
We see death constantly on film.
Michael Sheen
Americans are much more open than people in Britain.
Michael Sheen
I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
Michael Sheen
You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.
Michael Sheen
Everyone deserves compassion.
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
My rule of thumb is that I want to do things I'd like to go and see myself.
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
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.
