Freddie Highmore’s 5 most popular quotes
- When you’re happy you don’t always have to be laughing, and when you’re sad you don’t have to be crying; sometimes it’s the opposite. You laugh when you’re the most upset.
- As always, with acting, you can’t be too self-conscious. You shouldn’t care about what people are thinking about you at the time because they’re not caring about you, they’re caring about the character.
- Today the sort of thing for a guy in England growing up is that you have to suppress all your emotions. It’s almost like you have to sit back and be cool.
- I always try doing a different character for every film so it’s not just changing one.
- People build up a picture of Johnny Depp as being some sort of weird pirate character. In reality he’s incredibly nice… one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
