"I don’t feel like a romantic lead; I guess I feel more like a character actor." ― Matthew Macfadyen Topic(s): Romantic More From Matthew Macfadyen "My vanity is I’m terribly romantic! But being married is lovely." "I was quite a shy child. I would get terribly nervous and throw up before my birthday party. And then I would be fine. I feel the same now. I get nervous, then it’s fine." "The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that you’re not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, you’ll make yourself unhappy, because life doesn’t work like that. So much is luck. It’s much better to let yourself off, to think, ‘There’s nothing I can do.’" More In Romantic "More generally, I made an effort to leave out things that weren’t relevant to the main narrative themes of the book, namely that there were two sides to Steve Jobs: the romantic, poetic, countercultural rebel on one side, and the serious businessperson on the other."― Walter Isaacson "In ‘The King’s Speech,’ patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasn’t become complicated over time."― Tom Hooper "I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you’re chasing along with romantic comedy."― James L. Brooks
