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.

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 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
Education, awareness and prevention are the key, but stigmatisation and exclusion from family is what makes people suffer most
Ralph Fiennes
Unicef wants to encourage a sense of stability for a child.
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
I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.
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
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
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
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
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
I loved doing Harry Potter. I had a great time on that. And I think it's good to have a mix. I think you're learning all the time.
Ralph Fiennes
One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.
Ralph Fiennes
We're in a world of truncated sentences, soundbites and Twitter... [Language] is being eroded -- it's changing. Our expressiveness and our ease with some words is being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us.
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 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
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
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
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
I went out to Mount Kilimanjaro, which I thought was very beautiful, but there were a lot of people there.
