Quote

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.

He's really sort of the devil. He's completely emotionally detached. He has no empathy. You find that in psychopaths. It's about power with Voldemort. It's an aphrodisiac for him. Power makes him feel alive.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
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
Image
I went out to Mount Kilimanjaro, which I thought was very beautiful, but there were a lot of people there.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
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
Image
There is a tension in relationships between wanting to return to the womb, but also wanting to be free. Because sometimes the woman's attentions can be overly maternal, and you want to go, 'Ahhhh!'
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
Image
I'm not very good at being domesticated. I've tried. The domestic life I find claustrophobic - the rituals and habits and patterns.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
There's a challenge to playing these fantasy figures because they are fantasy figures. You have to enter into this sort of imaginative world of the writer.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
We are now living in a jungle where the strong eats the weak,we are not better than the Arabs to despise them.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
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
Image
I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
People fear they won’t get what they want.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
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
Image
It's great to be on a set where there's time and there's focus and there's also a kind of adrenaline thrill on a set where people are saying: We have to get this shot, we've have to go, we've got to move on!
Ralph Fiennes
Image
God is not anything human. God is a force, God is chaos, God is unknown. God is terror and enlightenment at the same time.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
The actor shouldn't edit themselves or be anxious. And the actors that I admire are always the ones who are inventive and their imaginative life in free-willing. It's a director's job to go, No here, don't do that, go there.

Education, awareness and prevention are the key, but stigmatisation and exclusion from family is what makes people suffer most
Ralph Fiennes
Image
I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
I learned a lot about acting - watching not just myself but other actors and learning how to distinguish between two great takes. It's also about one's own taste in performance.
