The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Stephen Graham
- I did ‘Gangs of New York’ with Martin Scorsese, and they used to call me ‘Little Joe Pesci’ on the set.
- I wouldn’t rule out L.A. life, but I love England. I have a lovely house and nice garden, I walk my kids to school – family is most important to me.
- Mum and Dad always wanted me to do whatever I was happy doing. I nearly went to art college at 16, but decided to do a BTEC in performing arts.
- I was going to become a youth worker because I do voluntary work with the kids in the little village where I live. I make little films with them and stuff when I’m not working. I thought, I’ll pack it in then, and go and do something I love doing, and get a regular job because I’ve got two kids and a mortgage.
- When I was 27, I didn’t have a clue what was going on! At that age, to have that much power and to have that much ambition is something.
- I like how TV used to be – ‘Boys from the Blackstuff’ and ‘Play for Today’, instead of ‘Stars in Your Eyes’ and ‘Celebrity Come Cook With Me’ or whatever. I hate all that stuff.
- I adore my job. I think I’m one of the luckiest people out there. I’ve worked hard, but I get to mess about every day – that’s how I see it.
- There are moments when you’re stepping out of a really nice car on to a red carpet, and you feel inside like, ‘This is quite nice,’ but I’m never whisked off my feet.
- There are always certain things that you tap into, your own personal experiences, and I try to base my characters on someone I know or someone I’ve seen.
- I was 10, and I played Jim Hawkins in ‘Treasure Island’ at school, and this great Liverpudlian actor called Andrew Schofield – he was Johnny Rotten in ‘Sid And Nancy’ – came to watch it, and he had a word with my mum and dad afterwards and told them I should have a go at the Everyman youth theatre. I’ve never looked back.
