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.

Unicef wants to encourage a sense of stability for a child.
Ralph Fiennes
You dread that there will be real problems during filming.
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
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
I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
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
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
I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time.
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
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
I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something.
Ralph Fiennes
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.
Ralph Fiennes
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
People fear they won’t get what they want.
Ralph Fiennes
When I first filmed things, they were always slightly awkward.
Ralph Fiennes
Voldemort? That might be real.
Ralph Fiennes
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
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
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
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.
