The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Tom Hollander

  • My father was ethnically Jewish, but his family converted to Catholicism.
  • In the periods of my life when I’ve had least contact with the Church, I’ve always assumed a belief in God is a solid thing, but clearly it’s a relationship; it has good days and bad days.
  • Somehow I find it easier to inhabit characters if they are a little bit pathetic. I do seem to have an affinity with pathetic people.
  • I’ve always wanted to do a real comedy. I haven’t done enough, and it seems silly not to do more, considering the fact that people tend to laugh at me.
  • My parents are very lovely people – the sort of people that one should aspire to be like, really.
  • My sister and I both benefited hugely from the great security that our parents had given us, and then we went off and squandered it all rushing around in showbiz.
  • Obviously I’d love to have kids and all that. Luckily, as a man, there’s not such an egg timer on it, but I’d like to be able to pick them up without Nurofen first.
  • I prefer to be flippant about acting, just in case I’m rubbish.
  • I’m no Kenneth Branagh or Ben Stiller. I’m not that single-minded, ‘I’m producing it, directing it, and starring in it’ kind of person; that’s not me.
  • The danger with playing a part that defines you is that it swallows up everything else.
