QUOTES BY Richard Armitage

I've never been that cute kid that was forgiven for being naughty.

A full beard looks cool.

I can't bear shopping. I can choose clothes for my characters, but not for myself. I've got no dress sense. Or I've lost it.

My mum will not speak above a low whisper in public because she doesn't want to draw attention to herself.

Trying to please everyone can be very hard, but, like 'Shrek' or 'The Simpsons,' 'Robin Hood' manages to entertain adults and children at the same time, but in different ways.

I wouldn't want a tattoo at all. They're difficult to cover up.

I suppose I'm a bit mean. My face on camera doesn't lend itself to happy nice guys. I think it's just that my bone structure looks menacing.

I feel like my imagination was crafted by Tolkien. He seemed to tap into that childhood intrigue of secret doors and hidden worlds.

I went into musical theatre, which I'm not really cut out for - I'm not as skilled at it as other people.

Whatever I lack in talent I have in stamina.

Since real spies are so good, you never really know what actual spying is. But I do think spying is a lot more dangerous than we are led to believe.
