Paddy Considine Quotes

I would hate to be thrust into the middle of a big film and not deliver. There’s young actors and they’re put into these central roles and they’re commanding armies - but they can’t quite pull it off. I’d much rather do it in small steps and build it from there Picture Quote #1

All you’ve got to do is turn up and have a few facial tics and be a lunatic and throw someone around the room or blow their brains out and people think it’s good acting Picture Quote #1

I suppose I just had this Christian idea about how I ought to go about my life. I thought, ‘If I work really hard and have a bit of success, the problems I’d had all my life would leave me.’ But, of course, not a bit of it left me because Asperger’s is not something you just get over or grow out of Picture Quote #1

The more I find out about the dynamic and how it works, the more I realize how lucky I am to have ever got anything. Like... there was no need to put me in ‘Cinderella Man’ - there was no need. Why? Just get an American actor - it would’ve been cheaper, probably Picture Quote #1

I’ll admit, sometimes I’ve paid the bills with acting. You know the phrase, ‘It’s one for the money, two for the showreel.’ I don’t want that as a director. I don’t want to compromise myself. There’s a big old wide world out there. I want to explore it Picture Quote #1

Since being diagnosed with Asperger’s, I’d been working with an acting coach who has now become a good friend. We’d been trying lots of improvisational techniques to help me with some of the problems I experience. But it’s a very slow process Picture Quote #1

I live in a state of hypersensitivity, and I’ve always had this feeling that something bad is going to happen to myself, or my wife and children. This manifests itself in different fears and visions Picture Quote #1

I can’t afford to step away from acting, but the one thing I’ve learnt after all these years is that I don’t fit in. It’s very difficult to be at the mercy of other people’s whims and visions Picture Quote #1

The thing is, if I try to talk about acting, I come off as moaning. But I’m privileged. I think it’s all about control. Acting is vulnerable because you’re not in control of anything. You have to give up a lot of your trust; it’s up to somebody else what they do with what you’ve given them Picture Quote #1

There’s no social realism in ‘Tyrannosaur.’ It’s not about the social landscape or the political landscape or any of that. It’s just about human beings. I never made ‘Tyrannosaur’ in reference to anybody - I just made it because I had to make my own films Picture Quote #1

It’s such a stressful environment, I find, being an actor, being put in the chair and ‘Touch this, that, and the other,’ it’s too much for me. I find it hard to tolerate that sort of stuff. If you’re not enjoying it, don’t do it. You’re wasting everyone’s time Picture Quote #1

I could never sit down and say: I’m going to do an out-and-out comedy, just to prove to people I can. You’ve just got to do what you do. Just listen to your soul and do your art and do it for the right reasons, and then you can’t fail Picture Quote #1

I watched ‘Rocky’ and ‘Raging Bull’ and ‘Taxi Driver’ over and over again. They spoke to you, man Picture Quote #1

I think it’s a shame when the arts have to suffer because of corporate greed. People will always strive to make film, and the only important thing is that we keep trying to make ourselves heard and keep making our films, no matter what the climate is Picture Quote #1

People can very quickly have a very poor self-image. It doesn’t take much Picture Quote #1

I can’t afford to step away from acting, but the one thing I’ve learnt after all these years is that I don’t fit in. It’s very difficult to be at the mercy of other people’s whims and visions Picture Quote #1

What’s my dilemma here? Am I making entertainment or am I making art? What am I saying? At the end of the day, cinema is entertainment for millions of people, but for me it’s expression Picture Quote #1

You walk past people in streets, or they serve you in shops, and you know nothing about the horrors they may be living with Picture Quote #1

Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you’re out of view Picture Quote #1

My fascination is not for cinema; it’s for human nature and human beings because I find it quite difficult being one at times Picture Quote #1

All you’ve got to do is turn up and have a few facial tics and be a lunatic and throw someone around the room or blow their brains out and people think it’s good acting Picture Quote #1
