“Anyone that knows me knows what I'm about, and I'm very much a British...” — Robert Carlyle Quote

“Anyone that knows me knows what I'm about, and I'm very much a British actor, a European actor.”

“I feel like I'm the luckiest man on the planet.”

“The script will point you in certain directions and I go the opposite if I can. I try do do one thing and tell a different story with my eyes. I believe what's more interesting is always what's not being said.”

“For years all I seemed to be doing was lobbying politicians and others to persuade them that European culture needed movies, and that we had to protect it.”

“We are demonstrating for services for all the people and not just services for money. It's very important that this message goes to the European Parliament today.”

“I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.”
