I haven't had to struggle very much. I haven't paid my dues. I think I have been lucky.
From Colin Firth
I have a very long relationship with America. My mother grew up there and I felt to some extent that I partly belong there. I was schooled there briefly for about a year.
I don't want to sound smug but I am reasonably satisfied with how it's gone. I think it's fine.
I do think I'm a character actor.
I do notice that when I've been away and I come back to London. People look at you. People are ready to pick arguments.
Hollywood hasn't aggressively pursued me. Neither have I aggressively pursued Hollywood.
Bridget Jones is part of literary lore now and actually to be a part of it is enormously flattering.
As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I'm not greedy for that stuff.
Almost every comedy you see is about people making all wrong choices and making all the errors of judgement possible. Good comedy is when it works on this scale. Because it is psychologically very real.
We've always been involved with America - I have a son who lives there and it's a big part of my life.
