Ray Stevenson Quotes

[Pirates] are a victim of their own success. People have identified with pirates in a comic and caricature sense Picture Quote #1

Blackbeard was larger than life. He was 6 4 in 1710. He was a colossus, and like a rock star walking into a bar. He was a tremendous commander, a great leader Picture Quote #1

Working at night helps people focus in on this crazy little bubble you’ve created, wherever you are filming. It doesn’t matter where the location is, the world doesn’t exist outside this bubble. And everyone is trapped inside Picture Quote #1

The way Shakespeare wrote Fallstaff is with a heightened language and everything. That’s the genuis of having Ken Branagh here as well. Shakespeare doesn’t require you to have a doctorate in his language or whatever to understand him. It just has to be directed and played right. It’s all about scale and presence and getting these huge, epic stories across Picture Quote #1

When many different voices send you in different directions, you can’t listen to your own Picture Quote #1

When you’re wearing jeans there’s a shift in your center of gravity. A costume like this and a character like this, there’s no way to hide. If you try and play him any way sort of modern or normal, you diminish. He’s larger than life. He’s 150 percent. You’ve got to go for it all the time. It was just impossible Picture Quote #1

I love the chameleon nature of this business [acting]. I always have. Sometimes I’m not as recognizable as somebody else and I may not have gotten a role, but for me, acting is not a competition. I’ve just kept my head down and kept working, and had the great pleasure of working with some amazing people and playing some extraordinary and extreme characters Picture Quote #1

For me, because I’ve had classical theater training, when people say, Oh, my God, the play is amazing!, I’ll never get to see it because I’m in it Picture Quote #1

Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking, ‘I’m a bad guy.’ They think they’re the right guy Picture Quote #1

It is a tough business but if you get yourself in a situation like I, you can maintain a career over many years. That, to me, is a successful actor Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want people to go out wanting to go tool up against the bad guys (and at impressionable ages). I said, don’t shy away from the violence or pull back on this, commit to this Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you see a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder, for example. And even with the accents Picture Quote #1

I don’t give a damn if you like Blackbeard. I don’t care if you think he is an absolute despot. Do you believe me? If you do, I’ve done my work Picture Quote #1

I never thought I would get to have my own action figure Picture Quote #1

Well, I’m not a natural gym person myself, anyway Picture Quote #1

Life itself is pretty funny when you realize how absurd it can be Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t ever presume to say that I am a comic book fan Picture Quote #1

I suppose you just feel on an instinctive level if something is honest Picture Quote #1

Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I love working with directors. As much as I love working with other actors Picture Quote #1

When you’re wearing jeans, there’s a shift in your center of gravity Picture Quote #1
