I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both.

More quotes by 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
I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
Ralph Fiennes
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
I respond to a part just intuitively when I read a script.
Ralph Fiennes
I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time.
Ralph Fiennes
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
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
You dread that there will be real problems during filming.
Ralph Fiennes
Success.. is all about being able to extend love to people... not in a big, capital letter sense but in the everyday. Little by little, task by task, gesture by gesture, word by word.
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
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
I was only interested in my scene, and I had to go through thousands and thousands of other scenes. I got my scene and I read it many, many, many, many, many times. That was my research.
Ralph Fiennes
I have grown up loving Shakespeare.
Ralph Fiennes
I think Shakespeare is like a dialect. If I heard a broad Scots accent, I'd probably struggle at first but then I'd start to look for words I recognise and I'd get the gist. I think Shakespeare is like that.
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
One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.
Ralph Fiennes
Unicef's education initiative does not seek to impose, but to initiate and integrate. It does, however, aim to address the huge bias towards education for boys at the expense of girls in so many cultures.
Ralph Fiennes
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
You're meant to be playing the distillation of evil, which can be anything.
Ralph Fiennes
Education, awareness and prevention are the key, but stigmatisation and exclusion from family is what makes people suffer most
