I've worked with some actors who have such thick skins and think they are so extraordinary. I'll think, 'Have you stopped learning?' They stop listening to directors or other actors and do the same thing again and again.

From Eddie Redmayne

A movie star is someone who has to open a film to gazillions of dollars. I'm just trying to pay my mortgage.

From Eddie Redmayne

The thing about motor neuron disease, once a muscle stops working, it doesn't start again.

From Eddie Redmayne

That's a lovely starting point for me as an actor: the question of what will we - or can we - do with this lot of years with which we're blessed? More than my other films, 'The Danish Girl' is about the gigantic risks involved in being true to one's self.

From Eddie Redmayne

I hope, then, that every one who sees 'The Danish Girl' might be galvanized themselves to lead more authentic lives. How much lovelier would the world be then?

From Eddie Redmayne

The question of what it is to live an 'authentic life', that's a complicated one.

From Eddie Redmayne

I try genuinely, when I'm playing a character, to not judge them and just to inhabit someone as how one sees them. That being said, you also want to make sure that you don't blur the edges of people too much because humans are naughty and complicated beings.

From Eddie Redmayne

It feels like a simple human right to be able to be yourself, and yet, what trans people have to go through in order to get to there, it can be so complicated.

From Eddie Redmayne

I wish I could describe anything I do as conscious or strategized. To be honest, in acting, you have so little control. The only control you have is if you're lucky enough to be in a position, which is not very often, in which you have choice. It's about what choices you make, and for me, it's entirely instinctive.

From Eddie Redmayne

When I read 'Fantastic Beasts,' the world that J. K. Rowling has created is so wonderful.
