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.

More quotes by Ralph Fiennes
I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.
Ralph Fiennes
Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.
Ralph Fiennes
Voldemort? That might be real.
Ralph Fiennes
I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
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
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
Little moments can have a feeling and a texture that is very real.
Ralph Fiennes
Unicef wants to encourage a sense of stability for a child.
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
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
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 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
I respond to a part just intuitively when I read a script.
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 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
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 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
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
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
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
