Olivia Colman Quotes

I'm always looking to do different roles and play around a little bit. That's always the fun part of my job.

I think that, given a real choice, people would like to hear something interesting, not something bland and right down the middle.

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

Not being boring is quite a challenge.

I always like to play. I cannot sit down and see what's going to happen, because it's boring.

I personally want my games to be described as satisfying rather than difficult.

Uniformity is not very interesting or sustainable - it's boring.

Audiences want to see something interesting. It doesn't matter which genre or period it belongs to.

I like to play unpredictable characters, and I like to be unpredictable in what movie I'll do. I want to skip to work. I don't want to repeat anything. What the future holds, I don't know, but that's what I like. I'll take any risk there is.

Enjoyable does not necessarily mean easy.

I like doing things that are very wildly different. I find that the meat and vegetables of being an actor is doing things that are completely different, all the time.

It's impossible for me to feel like there's only one way to do a thing. There's nothing wrong with having one way of doing it, but I think it's a bad habit. I believe in range. Like, there's a lot of tunes that I play all the time-sometimes I hear 'em in a different register. And if you don't have complete freedom, or you won't let yourself get away from that one straight line, oh, my goodness, that's too horrible to even think about.

I want to keep doing interesting work with interesting people in whatever form that may take, but I want to play the big parts of classical theatre; I want to go on stage and play great Shakespearean roles and, at the same time, do amazing, challenging indie films and comedy, and I want to do it all. I am greedy.

It's important to say that the more challenging a scene is, in a way, the more fun it is because the more of my job I get to do.

I've always been quite careful about what I wanted to do. I've just never wanted to revisit old ground or do something that's easy. I want to do something that I would look at and go, "I don't know what to do!" The most exciting thing is when you're a bit scared, so I'm looking to find something that's really terrifying.

I have a gut reaction to stuff that I read. Either it's a filmmaker that I really want to work with, or it's a story that I really want to be a part of and help serve, or there's a character that I feel I can bring something unique to. That's really what it's about. I would go crazy, if I just relied on the same tricks and did the same thing, all the time. It was just be no fun, at all. I really do need to try something different, every time out, and do something that scares me, a little bit.
