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
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 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
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
I'd love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.
Robert Carlyle
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
