Joseph Fiennes Love Quotations

When I was offered the part in ShakespeareIn Love a voice in my head said 'not another tights role!

Yes, in a way. Film is a by-product of my love of theatre. Theatre is for me the greater challenge. In many ways it requires more skill.

I fall in love with contradictions without understanding. I can't really portray them unless I do. So in a roundabout way I have to fall in love, it's my duty. If love is about understanding and understanding is compassion and compassion is love, I have to have compassion towards the world.

I've always believed that you shouldn't want to mend a broken heart, because that's someone you don't want to forget. Scars can be good.

I love life. I'm fascinated by human behavior because that feeds back into my work.
