Eddie Redmayne Quotes

I always think of comedy as being spontaneous, and yet everything about filmmaking is not spontaneous Picture Quote #1

As an actor there’s a lot of scrutiny and, even when you’ve had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for De Niro there’s Pacino and for Pacino there’s De Niro Picture Quote #1

I love the Potter films. I found them the most wonderful sort of escapism every year or two Picture Quote #1

The depiction of the exterior as opposed [to] what you’re feeling inside is always so different that it’s impossible to know what is right Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to buy a house and set some sense of roots because otherwise you’re constantly chasing one job after another, and you look back and you’ve had all these very extraordinary experiences with extraordinary people, but there’s not a line of continuity to it Picture Quote #1

I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I’m a complete fruit loop Picture Quote #1

I always think of comedy as being spontaneous, and yet everything about filmmaking is not spontaneous Picture Quote #1

It can be a miserable profession, acting, because you always want what you can’t have Picture Quote #1

My first film, ‘Like Minds,’ was with Toni Colette, who was extraordinary. I mean it was basically a mini-masterclass for acting on film at a time when all you could probably see were my eyebrows bouncing up and down on screen Picture Quote #1

If you’re an English actor and turn up in America, they don’t have an opinion about where you sit. They have no idea what auditions to send you to, so they send you to everything Picture Quote #1

If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in ‘Richard II’ on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am Picture Quote #1

I’m quite ignorant about fashion and I’m colourblind, so it’s all a tad tricky. My only knowledge of that world comes through Christopher Bailey, whom I first met in 2008 when I did a campaign for Burberry that featured musicians, artists, actors and sportsmen Picture Quote #1

I have this horrific thing where I’m really bad with names and faces. I have an appalling memory. Someone will come up to me in the street and go, ‘Eddie!’, and I’ll try and give myself time by going into overdrive, ‘Hey, hi! Nice to see you!’ and start a whole conversation because I can’t distinguish between who I know and who I don’t Picture Quote #1

I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious Picture Quote #1

Everything about filmmaking is incredibly weird, and there’s nothing natural about watching yourself on the big screen or hearing your voice. It’s that same thing that you feel when you watch yourself on a video camera and you hate the sound of your voice - it’s that times 800 Picture Quote #1

Ladies and babies, and mortgages, for that matter, can all wait. Acting has done a strange thing to me, though. I often sit there, thinking, ‘I love this, but I wouldn’t put my daughter on the stage.’ Picture Quote #1

And you can’t complain about kissing Emma Watson. Isn’t that what everyone in the world wants to do? I’ve known Emma for a few years. She’s this amazing capacity of young and vibrant and brilliant, but also a bright, intelligent old soul Picture Quote #1

They’re such hierarchical things, film sets, they’re sort of mini societies. Often they’re incredibly political places Picture Quote #1

I always try to describe making movies like summer camp, or some holiday where you spend all day, every day with a new group of people whom you kind of love and then never see again Picture Quote #1

Take life step by step, pace by pace, slowly slowly, and leave the competition to others Picture Quote #1

Making a film or doing a play are completely different experiences and entirely fulfilling, but completely unique. I also think one complements the other. People often say that theater is about flexing your muscles, and is actually real acting, whereas I sort of disagree Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to buy a house and set some sense of roots because otherwise you’re constantly chasing one job after another, and you look back and you’ve had all these very extraordinary experiences with extraordinary people, but there’s not a line of continuity to it Picture Quote #1

A lot of people think theatre must be much harder work than film, but anything histrionic or superfluous gets seen on camera so you have to work to distil it into a complete sense of what’s true Picture Quote #1

Most actors hate watching their own films because all you can see is the glaring mistakes, your own tricks and ticks Picture Quote #1

Listen, acting is not surgery, it’s entertainment. You’re doing something to hopefully move people, to make them laugh, to transport them. But actors are vulnerable, and the reason we’re vulnerable is that we’re always trying to recreate human behaviour Picture Quote #1

Up there on the screen, we can all fly. But down here on earth, we need to be each others wings Picture Quote #1

I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I’m a complete fruit loop Picture Quote #1
