Marc Warren Quotes

I love working with great actors.

I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.

All actors do that. Should do that and do that. For the most part. I say all actors. I'm exaggerating, but you know who does and who doesn't. Vince is a wonderful young actor who knows his work and did a beautiful job on this film.

I've never tried to learn the art of acting. I have been in the business for years but I still can't tell what acting is or how it's done.

When I saw John Turturro in 'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,' I realized that was the kind of actor I wanted to be.

I could do Daniel Day-Lewis's job as well as him.

I'm the sort of actor who likes to talk about what we're going to do.

It was really fun being in Tara's trailer, working on my lines. Tara is such an amazing actress. She's so good at what she does. I learned a lot from watching her.

Every time you go on a set, it's a whole different world, and I love that.

It's not good just to have life experience of film-making and that's all. It's hard to play a real person when you've been in jets and town cars for three years.

I'm not, like, Daniel Day Lewis. Yet. I will get there!

Working with actors is something I've never done before. I find it tremendous. It's hard work.

The actors I admire are character actors.

Did Anthony Hopkins really have to be a serial killer to be in 'Silence of the Lambs?,' I don't think so, no. It's called acting, people.

When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.

I look at actors very closely. It's not an accident when the actors excel.

I work a lot; I love to compose, ponder, and take notes when preparing for a role. I cut all the scenes, collate the images, form the character and shape its personality, then I make meticulous notes and transcribe each scene on my notebook.

When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.

I really don't know what I'm doing... I don't. It's terrible. I go in there and I learn how to be like the character and do the best I can, and that's all I really do.

Acting to me is always reacting.

They did cast me as an ingenue once, and the novelty was nice. But I said, 'There is nothing here to play!' I really like getting into the meat of a role.

What I love to do requires portraying different characters, and you have to separate your life from the role.

If I were to play somebody who ran a fish and chip shop, I would not work in a fish and chip shop for three months. Staring at chips is not going to help me in my performance.

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

Acting is all I know; being on a set is all I know.
