More quotes by Robert Carlyle
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle
I'd love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.

Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle
People in Scotland appreciate homegrown talent, but it's getting harder and harder to get films made in Britain.
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
Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.
Robert Carlyle
I never go anywhere without my iPod.
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
The darker the character, the more interesting.
Robert Carlyle
I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.
Robert Carlyle
