Robert Carlyle
I owe my father everything.
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.

Robert Carlyle
Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.
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
It's much more fun to be ugly.
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
At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.
