More quotes by 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
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've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through.
Robert Carlyle
My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life, but he's pretty good at paying the rent.
Robert Carlyle
I never go anywhere without my iPod.
Robert Carlyle
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
Robert Carlyle
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
Robert Carlyle
I owe my father everything.
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
The thing I miss the most about Scotland is the football.
Robert Carlyle
I hate the word 'hippy.'
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
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
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
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. 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
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
People in Scotland appreciate homegrown talent, but it's getting harder and harder to get films made in Britain.
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
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
Robert Carlyle
