Joseph Fiennes's quotes

• Being the youngest makes you long for more of a voice. You find that voice early in theatrics of the kitchen. I was the one screaming, 'Hey, where is my food?'.
• I've always believed that you shouldn't want to mend a broken heart, because that's someone you don't want to forget. Scars can be good.
• It takes years to establish yourself, and then you have one big film and everyone calls you an overnight success. You think, 'Christ, I've been sweating and crying for seven years.'
• I don't read reviews. I can always spot an actor who's read his reviews, because if they're good, he's swaying about the stage, and if they're bad, he's changed his performance. He comes in limping or something.
• For a lot of British actors, the theatre is home. It's what they did before you knew them, as it were.
• I'm a believer, however naively, that someone will place me in a project because they've seen my work, rather than me being bullish or so ambitious that I get the part by any other means.
• What's that Russian saying? 'How do you make God Laugh? - Tell him your plans.' It's kind of true.
• "But it's a strange thing when people judge you because you're not doing some big Hollywood film. Are you suggesting I should be in The Dukes of Hazzard (1979)? I mean, hello?".
• Give me a sword fight any day.
• I think everything I do is my early work. I can't wait to get on to the later stuff.
• I never went into acting to do film. I went into it to do theatre - classical roles.
• I love travelling. I love cultures
