More quotes by Ralph Fiennes

Ralph Fiennes
Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.
Ralph Fiennes
You dread that there will be real problems during filming.
Ralph Fiennes
I feel there's so much still to learn about acting. But there is some magic in the capturing of performance and in the process of editing a performance. The psychology of human beings and what's coming through the face... that fascinates me.
Ralph Fiennes
I have grown up loving Shakespeare.
Ralph Fiennes
I'm more relaxed about how the editing process will create a performance and that, in a way, gives me a sense of freedom.
Ralph Fiennes
I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs, unless they're extremely well informed.
Ralph Fiennes
It [the scene] can be something given to you and you go, Ah this is a good idea, I can work with this. Sometimes it cuts right across your instinct and that's when I might resist. Even if the director might be insistent, I think it's very important to say, Look, I'm not feeling this. I'll try to make it work but I got to let you know.
Ralph Fiennes
Unicef wants to encourage a sense of stability for a child.
Ralph Fiennes
So much of movie acting is in the lighting. And in loving your characters. I try to know them, and with that intimacy comes love. And now, I love Voldemort.
Ralph Fiennes
Voldemort? That might be real.
Ralph Fiennes
Little moments can have a feeling and a texture that is very real.
Ralph Fiennes
I admire the world of the books and the characters that she's created, but I'm not an addict of Harry Potter. I don't feel possessive about it.
Ralph Fiennes
I was grateful to have two weeks to shoot this one scene in Harry Potter. It's a big, big scene, but they have to deliver. And they have high expectations.
Ralph Fiennes
I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.
Ralph Fiennes
It's thrilling to have the opportunity to work in different areas, whether it's on a project that has all the resources behind it like Harry Potter or James Bond and then to go somewhere there's very few resources.
Ralph Fiennes
People fear they won’t get what they want.
Ralph Fiennes
I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time.
Ralph Fiennes
There are those moments when you shake someone's hand, have a conversation with someone, and suddenly your all bound together because you share your humanity in one simple moment.
Ralph Fiennes
