More quotes by 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
You have to just dive over the edge. You haven't got time to mess about.
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
You're meant to be playing the distillation of evil, which can be anything.
Ralph Fiennes
One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.
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 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 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 veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
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 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
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
I respond to a part just intuitively when I read a script.
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
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
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 particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs, unless they're extremely well informed.
Ralph Fiennes
You dread that there will be real problems during filming.
Ralph Fiennes
Having gone through editing process, I can see that in actor's faces there's point where they're not managing their performance and that's, I think, the best place to be. You've done the homework, you've learned the lines, at that point you just sort of let it out.
Ralph Fiennes
