More quotes by Robert Carlyle
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
Robert Carlyle
So many of my friends, old friends I haven't seen in years, made their way out there and got lost, then found their way back. That seems believable to me.
Robert Carlyle
I've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through.
Robert Carlyle
I've always believed that as an actor anything you're asked to do is within you. You just have to try and find it.
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
I like to be working and moving - the worst thing you can do to me is stick me in a room all day while you're lighting a shot. That just kills me.
Robert Carlyle

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 never go anywhere without my iPod.
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
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
Robert Carlyle
Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.
Robert Carlyle
I hate the word 'hippy.'
Robert Carlyle
Early days, I was a bit racked , particularly when I did Hitler, for CBS . That was hellish. That stayed with me for quite a long time.
Robert Carlyle
I think I have a natural, if I can say that, got a kind of natural ability in comedy.
Robert Carlyle
I think you should only wear jewellery if it has a story behind it.
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
