Tobias Menzies's quotes

  • When I started acting, I found a place and a release which I didn't find in my own life.
  • I've been really lucky to have had a variety of roles, and I don't think I'm in danger of being typecast as the romantic lead. I think there's honor in working as constantly as you can. That isn't easy. And I'm no matinee idol.
  • I love small theaters because they're intimate, and you can have a very easy rapport with the audience. Everyone's in the same room.
  • On playing the romantic lead in Forget Me Not (2010), a romantic comedy with a dark tinge; I've not played a romantic lead before and it did feel like uncharted territory, but it's a very small film so I don't think this is going to make me a superstar.
  • Do I think the West End relies too heavily on star names? Yes, I do, and it can result in miscasting and sub-standard stuff. Not always, but occasionally.
  • I'm largely interested in people who are just great actors, and they're not necessarily hugely famous.
  • I live or die by how well I act.
  • I love haggis. Haggis, neeps, and tatties.
  • I wouldn't be seen dead in a kilt.
  • [On his favorite pastime/hobby] Tennis. Playing tennis. I spent most of my childhood on a tennis court. It was my grand passion.
  • [On his favorite TV show] favorite all time is The Wire (2002). It's a great piece of storytelling in recent times. I'm watching Wolf Hall (2015). I've heard tell and have meant to catch up on Transparent (2014).
  • [on his favorite song/band] It might have to be Neil Young, "Old Man."
  • [on playing Black Jack Randall on Outlander (2014) ] I never regarded Black Jack as someone who didn't have tender feelings somewhere.
  • [When asked which historical figure's he like to hook-up with, Tobias Menzies didn't even think twice before saying Marilyn Monroe] She seemed like the most gorgeous, sex kitten-ish, bundle of joy.
  • [Regarding his costumes for Rome (2005)] I'm not sure that I had the legs for togas. I think James Purefoy had the best legs, good calves. I'm not sure I ever want togas to come back into fashion.
  • I find life hard. Bruising, curious, disappointing at times, amazing at times. You have more life experience, and you get more beaten up along the way. I find it a bumpy ride. I know lots of other people find it funner than I do.
  • [on The Terror (2018)]: The honest truth is most of the time one often doesn't love what ones made and has various gripes with it but this is an exception. I think it's really one of the finest things I've been involved with. I'm proud of it.
