More quotes by 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
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
Robert Carlyle
I never go anywhere without my iPod.
Robert Carlyle
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
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
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
The darker the character, the more interesting.
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
Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.
Robert Carlyle
I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.
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
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
I'd love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.
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 owe my father everything.
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 often have scripts sent to me with allegedly Scottish characters where I end up telling them, 'You're going to have to rethink this whole thing!
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
I like to be working and moving - the worst thing you can do to me is stick me in a room all day while you're lighting a shot. That just kills me.
Robert Carlyle
I just don't like the whole Hollywood thing.
Robert Carlyle
