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.

More quotes by Ralph Fiennes

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.

Image
Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
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
Image
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

Voldemort? That might be real.
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.

Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.

Image
I'm interested in the spirits of people. In the theatre, there's the acting part of acting - and I'm not saying that can't be great - and there's the essence. To explore that essence, you need a key, a look, a gesture, an insight that unlocks the person's soul.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
Most films are rooted in a book or a comic strip, but I don't go out there saying I want to do adaptations.
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
I respond to a part just intuitively when I read a script.
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.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
You have to just dive over the edge. You haven't got time to mess about.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

In the best material, you always should be able to somehow make a case for a story to be transposed to any other time.
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
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
You dread that there will be real problems during filming.
Ralph Fiennes
Image
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.
