Sometimes I hate the job that I do as an actor. I feel like I'm just of no importance in the world, but sometimes you get a real thrill out of the diversity of the work.

Unfortunately, my love life is nil. I'm working too much - but I would like to settle down at some point.
Richard Armitage
Well, I think finding the weapons of mass destruction is going to be quite time consuming. I know we've uncovered some documents, we'll have to exploit them, and we're going to have to blanket a country the size of California and search, I think, quite rigorously, but we'll come up with them.
Richard Armitage
I would not suggest the U.S. should sit down with the North Koreans bilaterally immediately after they've fired missiles - because the appearance is that you reward bad behavior. But if North Korea behaves for some period of time, I would pretty much favor direct talks.
Richard Armitage
I value my ability to keep state secrets.
Richard Armitage
You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character. At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.
Richard Armitage
Adults will not necessarily laugh at the same thing as their children.
Richard Armitage
Do people really think that about my nose? I spent my whole life hating it, so its amusing that people like it!

I can work hard and be disciplined like a soldier, but I could never reach their level of fitness. I have a whole new appreciation of soldiers. I saw myself on screen and thought, 'That body is so not hard enough to be a soldier.'

I'd say that, to be a good deal maker, you have to have three basic characteristics - timing, timing, and timing.
Richard Armitage
I think insanity is the hardest thing to play.

Secretary Clinton has dramatically changed the face of U.S. foreign policy globally for the good. But I wish she had been unleashed more by the White House.
Richard Armitage
But finding these 16 warheads just raises a basic question: Where are the other 29,984? Because that is how many empty chemical warheads the U.N. Special Commission estimated he had - and he has never accounted for.
Richard Armitage
Well, the United States has said that the disarmament of Iraq is the top priority, but we have also noted that there are many other United Nations Security Council Resolutions which are on the books, including the necessity to respect the human rights of all the citizens of Iraq that we're very interested in.

I'm not a massive fan of 3D. I've seen some good 3D, and I've seen quite a lot of bad 3D. I think if a film is created for the shock effect of 3D, then it's a certain type of film that I'm not massively bothered about.
Richard Armitage
I think there was a pretty smooth hand-off from the administration of President Clinton to the administration of President Bush, particularly in the counterterrorism area. The reason I say that is because there was, for transitions, I think a stunning continuity.
Richard Armitage
Diplomacy is much more than just talking to your friends... You've got to talk to people who aren't our friends, and even people you dislike.
Richard Armitage
I think, as a general matter, clearly, the United States globally supports the development of democracy and the democratic yearnings of all people.
Richard Armitage
The problem with me is I read everything, but it's only the bad stuff that stays with me. It's weird, you only need to be told something once and it stays with you.
Richard Armitage
I think understanding or comprehension is probably the strongest emotion that you feel, or at least some kind of empathy.
Richard Armitage
I'm the only honest person in Washington.
