More quotes by 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
The darker the character, the more interesting.
Robert Carlyle
People in Scotland appreciate homegrown talent, but it's getting harder and harder to get films made in Britain.
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

Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle
Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.
Robert Carlyle
Bullying is a terrible, terrible thing.
Robert Carlyle
I've always believed that as an actor anything you're asked to do is within you. You just have to try and find it.
Robert Carlyle
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
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
At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.
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
