I’m away so much I’ve had to learn to cook, and I find it relaxing after filming. I make stews and liver and bacon, and an Italian mate taught me how to make a mean puttanesca sauce. Ray Winstone Read Quote
I’m dying to play a nice guy! No one’s willing to cast me. They know I’m all right at bashing people up, but they don’t know if I can do the other stuff. And I can. Ray Winstone Read Quote
I’m a lucky boy! I could be holding a gun in Afghanistan. There’s boys out there doing what they’ve got to do, and there’s people digging holes, and there’s people driving buses. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Ray Winstone Read Quote
I’m quite happy with the body of work that I’ve done, and I’ve done some really good work over the years that I’m proud of. I’m proud of some of the people that I’ve worked with, been lucky to have worked with. Ray Winstone Read Quote
If they didn’t call you a tough guy, then what else would they call you? Something worse than that? I’m playing parts, and if they call you that, it’s because I played the part right. Ray Winstone Read Quote
Every job I take, within minutes I’m thinking, ‘I can’t do this.’ I think it’s what makes me work. People think I just swagger in and do it. But I doubt myself all the time. It’s what pushes me, what makes me work harder. The older I get, the less I take for granted. Ray Winstone Read Quote
At acting school people didn’t speak like me. It was all received pronunciation – ‘ow now brown cow.’ Ray Winstone Read Quote
On every job you do, you’ve got to raise your game. My ambition is to just get better and better every job you do – you should never stop trying to get better. You have to teach yourself new things – I don’t think you necessarily learn them from other people because you have your own style of doing things, but hopefully you get better.

We don’t have nannies and all that, we look after our own kids. It’s just what you do. If you want a big family that’s just what you do, isn’t it? Ray Winstone Read Quote
I remember years ago I was an extra, just an extra, and instead of asking me to move – he was a big fella – the director just picked me up and moved me. And I headbutted him. You know, he shouldn’t have done that, but I shouldn’t have done that either. I just done it. Ray Winstone Read Quote
