    Colin Firth's quotes

  • Colin is the sort of name you give your goldfish for a joke.
  • It's an Atom Egoyan movie, ... We know he's not the world's great pornographer. It's hard to quantify what kind of damage (the rating) will have done.
  • The sheer level of fascination on the subject is really a symptom of how this issue affects people, particularly women who are in utter disbelief that anyone would consciously go the other way -- to actually try to gain weight
  • And I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
  • Some people do it with irony and humor. Some people do it earnestly. Some people are ashamed of having to ask the question. And every so often there will be a journalist from Swaziland who doesn't know anything about it -- wonderful.
  • Where the Truth Lies.
  • All we can do is hope and pray - on suggestions Hugh Grant will retire soon.
  • Is that it is like Hamlet. If you thought about who had played it before, you'd never play Hamlet again.
  • Something about being given that microphone and if you're dressed right and the spotlights are on you, how can you not play that stuff?
  • The English people, a lot of them, would not be able to understand a word of spoken Shakespeare. There are people who do and I'm not denying they exist. But it's a far more philistine country than people think.
  • It made me uncomfortable.
  • On his fight scene with Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones: It was a delicious experience.
  • I was gearing up for it. I took some singing lessons. And I opened my mouth, and Atom promptly said, 'That's not going to happen. We love your voice, but maybe we could use some of your English wit.' He had doubts about it from way back. For starters, we weren't going to be doing the Italian-American crooning thing.
  • I have a kind of neutrality, physically, which has helped me. I have a face that can be made to look a lot better - or a lot worse.
  • There was quite a lot of your rear end that didn't make it either.
