Famous quotes by Tom Wilkinson:

"There's only one shot you have at a movie, and that's your best shot. If you can't give it that, don't go. They're paying you! You gotta do a job for them."

"When I very first started acting, at university, I thought I could do anything. Because you are so ignorant, you don't know what a good production should be. You don't know what the rules are. And then, when you start doing it professionally, you learn the rules and become more intimidated."

"It's a very simple and rather sort of a primitive feeling when you read a script."

"I would recommend it to everybody, every now and again you just put a dress on, see what it feels like, because it's, its interesting. A whole complex series of thoughts and feelings assail you as you look at yourself."

"When you're an actor you don't really know what you have to do until you see what you look like."

"It is the first time I've ever been in a dress. And it's terrible, well, it's first of all, you kind of, you look at it, and you think, who do I look like? There is a moment of recognition. And it's not quite, and it's, who do I look like? And you think, I got it after, you know, looking at a photograph of me, and I thought, it's my mother. I look like my mother."

"I'm temperamentally suited to the business of acting. I'm quite fatalistic. If it's not happening, it's not happening, and there's very little you can do."

"One of the characteristics of plays that are made into films is that they can be very talky."

"I have talent. I know it. I've been doing this for 30 years. But at the same time, you not only have to be good; you have to be good in hits."

"All good actors are easy to work with. It's the ones that aren't very good who tend to be very difficult."

"You don't have any kind of sense of being foolish when you are acting. When you're younger you don't want to look a fool, so you don't do things that might make you vulnerable."

"Acting for me is not that quid pro quo."

"If the script is telling the story well, that is your inspiration, and you do not need to go somewhere else."

"Once Miramax gets involved, if they like your movie, there's a big machine that gets involved."

"If you have something that you know is important to you and vital to you... then this will perhaps help people understand the importance of confronting it and being brave about it."

"I once did a role which I couldn't rehearse in my street clothes, I had to have the character's costume on before I could rehearse it. I just couldn't think as the character unless I looked like him, or I knew that I looked like him."

"You can't do things for money. You just can't act them. There's gotta be something about the script that you really want to do. I wouldn't do a job if I didn't think I could do the best work I possibly could."

"I won't say I wouldn't be grateful and happy and delighted and thrilled to bits to receive a nomination. But I wouldn't be suicidal if it didn't happen."

"It's no good being great in something that goes straight to video."
