Paul Bettany's quotes

• My plan - well, it isn't much of a plan, but it's mine and I like it - is to try to do lots of different things.
• I love the way British people see ourselves. We say, 'He's like us, a bit of a loser.'
• People like Cary Grant, Will Smith and Hugh Grant do it brilliantly. They are just relentlessly charming and self-deprecating. I found that really difficult. But there may be other reasons for that.
• I'm English, so I can't wear a baseball cap. I'd look like white trash, like I should have a beer and a dog called Skeeter.
• I love westerns and the reason I love really good westerns is because they are really classical. Their structure is like a Roman tragedy. Lots of violence, lots of vengeance and occasionally redemption. They are wonderfully brutal.
• For some ungodly reason, I end up being naked in a lot of stuff. But there is a certain grace and kudos that come with taking your clothes off the first day, a respect that is given by the rest of the cast.
• [on Raging Bull (1980)] I defy anybody to point out one thing that's wrong with it. It's just perfect.
• [on villainy in the movies] A good villain has to have a clear philosophy about how the universe operates. They can't just be doing bad things because they're evil. They have to be thinking, Everyone else is getting theirs, so why can't I get mine?
