As soon as I have the script in my hand, I'll be up in my apartment room pacing up and down learning it because it's just such a lovely thing to do.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I wanted to do 'Fargo' rather than do a TV production. I've been offered TV things over the years, but usually, that's about that I don't want to be away from home for that long because it's a long time to be away your home country and my family.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I often do that with characters, going back to my bloody drama-school days, in terms of equating them with creatures. And it's very much there as a theme of all the seasons of 'Fargo' as well: the predator and the prey.
Quote by -David Thewlis
The whole question of 'What is truth?' seemed to be the theme of Trump's presidency.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I think I've had more fun playing Varga than I've had for quite a number of years playing anything.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I've realized over the years I either play very good people or very bad people, and I think I always enjoy the very bad people more.
Quote by -David Thewlis
What is truth? What is a true story? Who is telling the truth, and what is truth in this world today?
Quote by -David Thewlis
I think Varga is a manifestation, certainly, and someone who can thrive and profit from the world's failure and has worked out the operation, whatever the operation may be, that he's about, which will remain a mystery.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I don't think they should trust anything that happens in 'Fargo' at all, and I'm sure 'Fargo' fans know not to make the mistake of trusting too much.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I don't think its good for the soul to invest too much of yourself in technology.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I've never been that bothered about doing stage or television. I just love doing films. With theatre, it goes on night after night.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I'm much more Buddhist. I mean, I'm not a Buddhist. I should be so lucky to be a Buddhist, a real Buddhist, but of all the things I investigated, that seems to make the most sense to me.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I would consider myself one of the least misogynistic men in the country - if anything, just the opposite.
Quote by -David Thewlis
'An Inspector Calls' is a British classic, and I am thrilled to be working on this beautiful screen adaptation with Aisling Walsh.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I used to write out of angst. My writing was quite miserable, quite angry, even when it was funny. It was based on this sadness and tired emotional disdain for the world.
Quote by -David Thewlis
What we do is ridiculous! I think that even when what I'm doing is serious, even when I'm not turning into a werewolf. It's a silly thing to do, isn't it? It's what you do in the playground when you're kids - but actors just never stop doing it.
Quote by -David Thewlis
Dad worked in the same shop, behind the same counter, five or six days a week, for 38 years, and hated it.
Quote by -David Thewlis
No matter what one looks at and finds temporarily pleasing, it can never be as beautiful as just a tree, really.
Quote by -David Thewlis
The thing about 'Harry Potter' is it's great fun because of the people - I was usually with Julie Walters and Mark Williams, Brendan Gleeson, Robbie Coltrane, and the kids. Wonderful, funny, amazing people. If you're going to hang around on a set bored, you might as well do it with Julie Walters.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I thought 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory' was terrible. I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, so I don't know what went wrong with that.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I don't worry. I'm more stoical. Of course I have insecurities. I fear getting older. I fear death and illness. I'm not prone to depression, but I get depressed because everybody gets depressed. Suddenly I'm away from my family or doing a job I'm not enjoying.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I'd been a stepparent for about two years with a woman who had a child, and I came to realize I adored children and was good with them. So I was very happy when Anna got pregnant.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I'd only read a bit of the first book. And I just knew about all the media furor over it. But I'd not read books 2 or 3. I'd just read a bit of it. And I'd seen the films.
Quote by -David Thewlis
It wasn't the greatest script in the world, but not many people can say they've played a wicked king in a swashbuckling Arthurian special-effects monster movie.
Quote by -David Thewlis
Restoration I did because I really loved e novel and I like Michael Hoffman, who directed it, but it wasn't a really challenging part for me. I'm not critical of the film: I just don't think I gave a very interesting performance.
Quote by -David Thewlis
The very best thing about doing it is seeing the reaction on kid's faces when you tell them you've done it.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I don't think Alfonso was a big expert on Potter either. He was feeling his way through it more than I was.
Quote by -David Thewlis
A lot of the city boys in London, a lot of the hedge-fund, young city workers at the height of the financial boom were a lot of working-class, brilliantly minded young fellows and women.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I like tourists. I think it's nice to live in a town that people come from all over to visit.
Quote by -David Thewlis
'Naked' propelled me into a whole other league. America started calling. I went over to Los Angeles and met all those people, and I started doing a few American films of various levels of quality.
Quote by -David Thewlis
It's not my ambition to direct lots of films. I think if I direct one film in my whole life, why rush it?
Quote by -David Thewlis
I've been offered TV things over the years, but usually, that's about that I don't want to be away from home for that long, because it's a long time to be away your home country and my family.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I was interested in the idea of celebrity... some very untalented people getting very successful and making a lot of money for not a lot of work, sometimes.
Quote by -David Thewlis
The world is enormously dangerous and scary. I worry very much for my daughter. I'm not sure we're in control any more, and I think the Internet is partly responsible for that.
Quote by -David Thewlis
We didn't need the Internet for Nazi Germany to happen. But I feel like there's this lack of humanity because of it.
Quote by -David Thewlis
Most parts I've played since 'Naked,' I can barely remember who they were, let alone repeat any lines.
Quote by -David Thewlis
It was so boring, and 'Dragonheart' was so unchallenging - there was no research involved or any rehearsal. So I was in my hotel room every night with no English-language TV except 'Beavis and Butt-head' at 10 o'clock every night.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I really like Los Angeles. I like the weather, the openness of it, the beach, the mountains, the desert. I find it inspiring. I get quite a lot of writing done out there.
Quote by -David Thewlis
I got hooked to American news like a great TV season. It plays like fiction. I would come home from work, and I would put it on, and I would stay up until 2 in the morning watching it and get up in the morning and watch it.
Quote by -David Thewlis
'Harry Potter' is very nice because it's very easy to make children happy. All you have to do is have your photograph taken with them.
