I’m very blue collar myself. So it was easy for me to embody that in a sense. It’s much harder for me to embody Norrell than it is to embody Terry Donovan. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
I’m a great believer that actors are very similar to session musicians. You wouldn’t ask a session musician, ‘How do you play jazz,’ and then, ‘How do you play classical?’ They just do it, because if they don’t do it, they don’t eat. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
You can’t write a screenplay if you’ve been doing a zero-hours contract. Which means that the people who write drama, the people who commission dramas, and the people who direct dramas all come from a small circle of society. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
I get a lot of people saying to me, ‘Oh, you’re the actor who plays the nutters,’ and I’m not. I’m the guy who plays human beings. I understand why the characters are doing what they’re doing. When you play a villain, you don’t play a villain: you play a human being doing what he thinks he needs to do to get what he wants. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
I don’t look like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. When you put me on the screen, the women don’t want to make love to me, and the men don’t want to be me. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
Acting was a way of me finding myself, which I think is the case of a lot of actors, regardless of where they come from. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
I wasn’t that hard. I wasn’t that tough. I wasn’t that funny – I looked like me. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
My friends I grew up with were so supportive to me. And I’m not the only one who’s done well. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
