Michael Sheen Character Quotations

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

In terms of how prudish Americans were in the '40s and '50s, I have absolutely no idea. I do know about the character that I play. And I don't think it's about being prudish. I think it's about trying to balance a sense of control in this man's life.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality. The more fantastical characters, or fantastical worlds that they inhabit are really fun and allow you, in some ways, to tell stories and reveal things about our lives that would be harder to take, in a more realistic setting.

I love being able to play as many different characters, in as many different worlds as I possibly can. That's what I really enjoy.
