More quotes by 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

Robert Carlyle
Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.
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've never been good at accepting jobs six months down the line. I can't do it. If I'm thinking about this, I can't think about that. So I always seem to fly by the seat of my pants.
Robert Carlyle
In troubled times the last thing you want to do is to stick your money into a film. It's such a gamble.
Robert Carlyle
Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting.
Robert Carlyle
I just don't like the whole Hollywood thing.
Robert Carlyle
