Martin Freeman Thinking Quotations

There's a difference between the parts that I play and who I am and who people think I am. There's quite a big discrepancy sometimes between those things.

On the one hand, we're constantly told about recycling and cutting back, and on the other hand we have to buy the next gadget that comes along three weeks after the last one you bought. It's absolutely insane. We've been suckered into buying and buying and upgrading and upgrading. We're being given two very different mantras at the moment, I think.

Acting is the only thing I'm even vaguely good at and acting is something that I think I do know about.

Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think they should dress like Hamlet off stage.

I don't think it was a surprise that I ended up as an actor, and it was anything but a disappointment.

I think if you were known for playing something other than being a nice guy then people might be a little less likely to take liberties with you. If you are Ray Winstone, and people have seen you kick a few people to death, then they are a little less likely to approach you or whatever.
