More quotes by Robert Carlyle
It's much more fun to be ugly.
Robert Carlyle
For me, it's a voyage of self-discovery. I'm able to go on a set and to explore situations, personalities, people and characters that are close to me, or maybe not. Through going there and experiencing these different people and their situations, it helps me to get oriented and develop as a human being. So, acting is fundamental to who I am.
Robert Carlyle
Every actor I think has got their own number of takes that they like, you know. Some actors like to go all day, you know on the one scene and some actors want to take two takes. I personally like four.
Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle
Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I am a very patriotic guy, in terms of my Scottishness and my roots.
Robert Carlyle
I owe my father everything.
Robert Carlyle
My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life, but he's pretty good at paying the rent.
Robert Carlyle
I often have scripts sent to me with allegedly Scottish characters where I end up telling them, 'You're going to have to rethink this whole thing!
Robert Carlyle
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
Robert Carlyle
I played a maniac fan who murders a policeman and she did my makeup. I thought anyone interested in me looking like that must have genuinely liked me.
Robert Carlyle
I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.
Robert Carlyle
