Favorite Paddy Considine Quotes

1. "A lecturer once told me I could never be a director. I was 16. I believed him." ~ Paddy Considine
2. "Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you're out of view." ~ Paddy Considine
3. "I have to believe there's redemption in the darkest of circumstances; otherwise it's too bleak for me." ~ Paddy Considine
4. "I watched 'Rocky' and 'Raging Bull' and 'Taxi Driver' over and over again. They spoke to you, man." ~ Paddy Considine
5. "People can very quickly have a very poor self-image. It doesn't take much." ~ Paddy Considine
6. "I can't afford to step away from acting, but the one thing I've learnt after all these years is that I don't fit in. It's very difficult to be at the mercy of other people's whims and visions." ~ Paddy Considine
7. "I got through with my ability to mimic others and make people laugh. I swaggered through life, but, in reality, I lived in fear pretty much every day. I acted like a completely normal person, and I suppose I was good at it. But, inside, it was a very different story." ~ Paddy Considine
8. "I think it's a shame when the arts have to suffer because of corporate greed. People will always strive to make film, and the only important thing is that we keep trying to make ourselves heard and keep making our films, no matter what the climate is." ~ Paddy Considine
9. "It's different being a director. I suppose, especially if it's a story you've written and you feel compelled to tell, in some ways it's a lot easier than acting because you're orchestrating the piece. As an actor, sometimes you're trying to second-guess what people want." ~ Paddy Considine
10. "All of a sudden I'm an actor, and I spend a decade trying to fit in and realising that I didn't, really. Sometimes in the right circumstances, with the right people, it felt OK. But other times it was a bit more jobbing. I didn't fit the mould, somehow." ~ Paddy Considine
11. "All you've got to do is turn up and have a few facial tics and be a lunatic and throw someone around the room or blow their brains out and people think it's good acting." ~ Paddy Considine
12. "I could never sit down and say: I'm going to do an out-and-out comedy, just to prove to people I can. You've just got to do what you do. Just listen to your soul and do your art and do it for the right reasons, and then you can't fail." ~ Paddy Considine
13. "I don't want to be disrespectful to people who are incredible at their craft, but the truth is, if I didn't get paid for it, I wouldn't act. The best-paying jobs are usually the worst films. You're a very small cog in a big machine." ~ Paddy Considine
14. "I live in a state of hypersensitivity, and I've always had this feeling that something bad is going to happen to myself, or my wife and children. This manifests itself in different fears and visions." ~ Paddy Considine
15. "I suppose I just had this Christian idea about how I ought to go about my life. I thought, 'If I work really hard and have a bit of success, the problems I'd had all my life would leave me.' But, of course, not a bit of it left me because Asperger's is not something you just get over or grow out of." ~ Paddy Considine
16. "I think the older that I'm getting, the more I'm understand what a privileged job I have, and what an opportunity I have. Now I'm directing films and I'm getting my first movie in America off the ground, and you start to understand how the system really works." ~ Paddy Considine
17. "I worked with some directors, and it was really collaborative, and I was sort of writing with them. I was giving so many pieces of myself to their movies, I thought, 'It's about time I use my own voice for me, and establish my own voice.' So I knew I wanted to make films." ~ Paddy Considine
18. "I would hate to be thrust into the middle of a big film and not deliver. There's young actors and they're put into these central roles and they're commanding armies - but they can't quite pull it off. I'd much rather do it in small steps and build it from there." ~ Paddy Considine
19. "I'll admit, sometimes I've paid the bills with acting. You know the phrase, 'It's one for the money, two for the showreel.' I don't want that as a director. I don't want to compromise myself. There's a big old wide world out there. I want to explore it." ~ Paddy Considine
20. "I'm trying to make sense of lot of things with 'Tyrannosaur.' I'm trying to make sense of people who've left now. They're not here, they can't answer for themselves any more, they're gone. And I'm trying to make peace with those ghosts." ~ Paddy Considine
21. "I know victims of domestic abuse. I know what it takes for people to get out, and I also know why people stay. It's heartbreaking." ~ Paddy Considine
22. "My fascination is not for cinema; it's for human nature and human beings because I find it quite difficult being one at times." ~ Paddy Considine
23. "You walk past people in streets, or they serve you in shops, and you know nothing about the horrors they may be living with." ~ Paddy Considine
