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.

More quotes by Robert Carlyle
I just don't like the whole Hollywood thing.
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 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
The script will point you in certain directions and I go the opposite if I can. I try do do one thing and tell a different story with my eyes. I believe what's more interesting is always what's not being said.
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'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
I hate the word 'hippy.'
Robert Carlyle
I never go anywhere without my iPod.
Robert Carlyle
I'd love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.
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
Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.
Robert Carlyle
The darker the character, the more interesting.
Robert Carlyle
At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.
Robert Carlyle
I owe my father everything.
Robert Carlyle
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
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
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
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
Robert Carlyle
It's much more fun to be ugly.
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
