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

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

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

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.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

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
Image
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
Image
I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
Michael Sheen
Image
My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life.
Michael Sheen

It's interesting that in searching for monsters to play you often end up playing leaders.
Michael Sheen
Image
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.

With vampires, there is such a great tradition that you suddenly find yourself a part of. Each generation reinvents what that means to them.

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