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
At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.
Robert Carlyle
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
