Martin Freeman Good Quotations

There was very little drama and performance at my school, so I've never forgotten the people who did encourage me and I've thought whether it would be a good idea to even get in touch with them and just say thanks, because they really opened a door for me mentally and emotionally - that's really important.

My idea of a good night out is staying in.

My ambition is to do what I like and to do good things that I might not have done before.

On the surface, you think you wouldn't have to think at all about being asked to play Bilbo in 'The Hobbit.' It's not prison; it's a good gig. But you know it's going to take a long time, and it does. There are times when you thought: 'Gee, I've not seen my house for months.'

I think the only directing I'd be any good at is theatre directing. It's the only thing I can see myself doing.

Acting is reacting, and it's always easier to react when someone is doing a good job.

I've got a pretty good musical ear, and I can pick things up.

I love watching Billy Bob, just as a punter anyway. I like his work. But working with him is really easy and really straight-forward. He's immediately good. He doesn't have to work up to it. He doesn't make your life difficult. He listens. He's a very good listener, in terms of his acting.

I'm just a sucker for a good script.

I can't actually believe how good 'The Sopranos' is. I genuinely am dumbfounded by it. It's like when you realize how good The Beatles are, and you think, 'How did they do that?'

I don't write anything off without reading a script, and if it's a good one, I'll consider it, whether it's for $20 or a million dollars.

Like with anything, good writing suggest itself pretty strongly.
