Paddy Considine’s 5 most popular quotes
- I have to believe there’s redemption in the darkest of circumstances; otherwise it’s too bleak for me.
- My fascination is not for cinema; it’s for human nature and human beings because I find it quite difficult being one at times.
- All of a sudden I’m an actor, and I spend a decade trying to fit in and realising that I didn’t, really. Sometimes in the right circumstances, with the right people, it felt OK. But other times it was a bit more jobbing. I didn’t fit the mould, somehow.
- People can very quickly have a very poor self-image. It doesn’t take much.
- I don’t want to be disrespectful to people who are incredible at their craft, but the truth is, if I didn’t get paid for it, I wouldn’t act. The best-paying jobs are usually the worst films. You’re a very small cog in a big machine.
