Jude Law's quotes

My only obligation is to keep myself and other people guessing.
I would never know how to sell myself as a sex symbol. That's not how I'm programmed.
[...] you go to the National with your parents and think: 'I'd love to be here.' And then suddenly you are. It's a dream come true.
I've always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role; I'd rather be the Wicked Witch.
I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.
I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about.
Success, and even life itself, wouldn't be worth anything if I didn't have my wife and children by my side. They mean everything to me.
I have no problem with nudity. My friend Ewan McGregor and I are starkers in most of our films.
I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.
[on his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)] I told Anthony that if I play Dickie Greenleaf, I want to eat in the best restaurants and drink the best wines every night because he would.
[about working on Enemy at the Gates (2001)] Yeah, I got blown up, cut up...I remember actually, when I had to go the Ripley premiere which was happening at that time, I arrived with this huge gash in my head. Very cool, really.
(About his injury during Dickie's death scene in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)) "Matt [Damon] broke my rib! But I think I strained his neck, we got a little bit carried away".
(about the paparazzi) "I throw root vegetables at them."
Bosie [from the movie Wilde (1997)] was the first part I was ever offered, which I suppose is sort of an insult because he's just the nastiest bastard!
I've always liked what Thomas More said in Utopia, which is that in Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliant.
The only film I ever made for money was something called Music From Another Room, which I really didn't like.
I only want to do the kind of work that I would like to go and see, that's going to teach me something new, that involves working with people I can learn something from and I can give something to.
I never thought I had to forge a family, but it felt the most natural thing that ever happened to me - meeting someone and becoming a father.
"Face it, I didn't become famous until I took my clothes off" - (People Magazine 3/26/01)
I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us.
"Hamlet" is a bit like a great song that's been covered by a load of different singers. It's like Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell all covering the same song. But they would each bring a different sound and colour to it (May 2009).
I've never been a great believer in relying on good looks to get you through. To me it's all about the work and what you do in the workplace.
You know, I'm not a great one, not a great one for, you know. I dunno, I'm not a great one for starting conversations.
[on being considered considered for Superman in 2002] I didn't want the burden of living up to Superman's reputation. Get caught smoking a cigarette and you ruin the lives of children around the world.
You see this Frankenstein's monster being created, this puppet that has your name and your face attached, and it's an odd thing.
