Rory Kinnear Quotes

I did not have any delusions of grandeur as a kid.

When I wake up in the morning, I don't think of myself as being better than anybody else. I think of myself as a good hitter.

The only thing I want to say is, I know I'm not Einstein, but I'm not the queen of the imbeciles either.

If you have enough people sitting around telling you you're wonderful, then you start believing you're fabulous, then someone tells you you stink and you believe that too!

I am no more humble than my talents require.

Am I an ego on legs? No I am not. Do I want to be seen out there all the time saying everything? No, I don't.
