More quotes by Tom Hollander
People behave differently to TV stars and film stars it's to do with the scale of the medium. Film stars get hushed awe, TV stars get slapped on the back. Neither is good for you. Famous people don't hear the word 'no' enough.

You always think, Oh, I'm sure I could have done that better. But generally speaking, I am very proud of this.
Tom Hollander
I did absolutely love playing Tabaqui, the hyena, who is morally conflicted and a villain, but also quite sweet.
Tom Hollander
I'm not as self-destructive as Dylan Thomas, but I've certainly been around that behavior enough to have found it a release. The thing that I really enjoyed was being able to play misery.
Tom Hollander
Nothing else is as fulfilling as playing a part in which you are able to have a significant say in the creative process all the way through. How many actors get to do that? It's extremely rare.

I'm no Kenneth Branagh or Ben Stiller. I'm not that single-minded: 'I'm producing it, directing it, and starring in it' kind of person that's not me.
Tom Hollander
I'm unhappy as Dylan Thomas was, because I'm not, but I've had my brushes with sadness.
Tom Hollander
If you're actually being paid to be miserable, and to be as miserable as you can be, that's a very fortunate thing, if you're prone to occasional lapses of spirit.
Tom Hollander
My sister and I both benefited hugely from the great security that our parents had given us, and then we went off and squandered it all rushing around in showbiz.
Tom Hollander
The improv technique does one of two things. It either makes you raise your game, or retreat into a corner and decide to find a new career. But you do feel like you want to match and develop things.
Tom Hollander
You're always supposed to have sympathy for the person you're playing. You should be the one person who does.
Tom Hollander
I don't think anyone could ever be wholly satisfied with their performance.
Tom Hollander
Every now and then, I feel terribly uncomfortable with what I'm working on, and then I think maybe I am an artist. I'm not very articulate about it, but I do know that you have to follow your gut.
Tom Hollander
The danger with playing a part that defines you is that it swallows up everything else.
Tom Hollander
Somehow I find it easier to inhabit characters if they are a little bit pathetic. I do seem to have an affinity with pathetic people.
Tom Hollander
Obviously I'd love to have kids and all that. Luckily, as a man, there's not such an egg timer on it, but I'd like to be able to pick them up without Nurofen first.
Tom Hollander
In the periods of my life when I've had least contact with the Church, I've always assumed a belief in God is a solid thing, but clearly it's a relationship it has good days and bad days.
