I've always been a family man and count myself as one of those who are lucky to have the comfort of a family.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
Some actors can distance themselves from the parts they play, but I fall into the category who use bits of themselves.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I think teaching should be a vocation, and they should be paid more for it.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
The best way of enjoying your money is to spend it on other people. I don't need much.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
Although surgeons know how to deal with bits of the brain, they don't really know how it works.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
My agent Sue realised after 'Cold Feet' that I could have spent the rest of my life doing similar roles. So she was instrumental in moving me away from that.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
When you see a tumour in the brain, it's an ugly looking thing. It's kind of black, grisly and messy. Or it can be white. To see it taken away is just amazing.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
Ever since I left Northern Ireland, I've always been pretty comfortable on my own, which contradicts a lot of people's perceptions of me.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
If you are a Northern Irish actor, maybe subconsciously more than consciously, you do have an instinctive responsibility at some point to tackle the recent history of where we have come from. It's not only a responsibility, but a privilege.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
You can get a bit world-weary in this job, and 'The Passion' reminded me of what a fantastic job acting is and how lucky I am to be doing it.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
Who am I to pass judgment? Judgment has been passed on me, but I adhere to, 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.'
Quote by -James Nesbitt
When I did the film 'Hear My Voice' a few years ago, I disappeared fully up my own backside for a while. Because I thought my career was taking off, I became a bit of an egomaniac and a pain in the neck. I thought I was God's gift to mankind and the greatest Irishman since George Best.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I get an awful lot of people coming up and saying they went to school with me. There must have been 80,000 pupils at that school!
Quote by -James Nesbitt
The whole process of making 'Bloody Sunday' was difficult but extraordinary.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
When you're brought up in a Unionist culture, you can't help but feel Unionist.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
Before I read the 'Bloody Sunday' script, I have to admit I hadn't thought about it that much. There was probably even part of me which assumed there was no smoke without fire. That the Catholics who were shot must have done something to provoke such a response from the army. I was extremely ignorant of the whole situation.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I've never felt that acting was my vocation - never had that tortured thing. I love acting, but it doesn't feed my soul.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
You don't learn charm. It's not something that you can acquire. I have used it much in my life with great success, but it's not necessarily what makes me an actor. It became a very easy label to attach to me. It also feels a bit dismissive. People go, 'You're so lovely and charming', but it's a wee bit, 'That's all you are.'
Quote by -James Nesbitt
It's hard to make a film in Britain. It's hard to raise money. The best stuff that is shot on film in Britain is usually shot on film for television.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
When people say, 'You're perceived as a sex symbol,' I love the idea of that because it's so absurd.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
When I went to university, I was already working professionally with the Ulster Actors.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I started a French degree at university, but packed it in when I realised I really wanted to be an actor.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
My early ambitions were the same as they are now - to play for Manchester United. I was, and still am, football mad.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I think often there is great rivalry between neurosurgeons and cardiac surgeons. I think I maybe have a bit of bias with neurosurgeons' opinion that nothing tops neurosurgery! But that makes for a quite interesting conflict between the two.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
Actually, I played Pontius Pilate as nice. An actor spends his life thinking he is Christ, and then he gets to play the character that killed him.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I lived a dual life, and when my dual life exploded, I began to feel much happier.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I think a lot of us who grew up in Northern Ireland weren't politicised enough, frankly.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
I've never thought of myself as a classic leading man. I'm a character actor who happens to play leading roles. Come on, look at me. I'm really Desperate Dan.
Quote by -James Nesbitt
If you are going to tell a story about a child going missing, it's going to have similarities with a real life child going missing.
