Aidan Gillen’s 5 most popular quotes
- I’ve always thought darker characters were more fun to play. They’re probably not any more complex or interesting than their good, law-abiding cousins, and I’d always tend to see things from their point of view.
- Both ‘The Wire’ and ‘Queer as Folk’ had a big scope. They were panoramas, telling ambitious stories about two cities, Baltimore and Manchester, for the first time.

- I hate it when people tell you you’re good when you know that you’re not.
- It’s always more interesting to take on someone that’s going to have hidden sides or a fatal flaw, because there’s going to be more to play with—more conflict, internally or in and around them—but it’s probably the thing of finding the positive in there.
