My looks aren't something that come dazzlingly through in everything I do. I can be made to look one way or the other fairly easily... I am still not recognised on the street that much.
From Colin Firth
My grandmother was a minister as well, which was not that common in the 1930s.
Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they're doing.
It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there's usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another.
In this case it appealed to me partly because it felt close to me in some ways. This is about a confused, bewildered middle class Englishman adrift in smalltown America and that has definitely been me.
If you don't mind haunting the margins, I think there is more freedom there.
I'd love to try my hand at something else.
I think that London is very much like that. I find there's humour in the air and people are interesting. And I think that it's a place which is constantly surprising. The worst thing about it? I think it can be smug and aggressive.
I think it's quite extraordinary that people cast me as if I'm Warren Beatty: until I met my present wife, at the age of 35, you could name two girlfriends.
I think England has served me very well. I like living in London for the reasons I gave. I have absolutely no intentions of cutting those ties. There is absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly not, so that I can have a swimming pool and a palm tree.
