The majority of comic book villains are pure evil, but Curt Connors is an exception. Curt Connors is a good man who initially wants to save the world, but he gets hungry and greedy and reckless, and he pays the price for that.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
The whole film genre is one of deceit. It is the suspension of disbelief. That's what all theater and all film is based on.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I come from a culture where the pub is the centre of the community. The pub is the Internet. It's where information is gathered, collated and addressed.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I don't sit around with other actors and talk about the pain and the magic of acting.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
It's like a badge of honour if you're a British actor and you get the 'Harry Potter' call. It meant a lot to me.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
In a sense, I feel a lot more an outsider in Los Angeles than I did in Newfoundland.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
People say: 'Oh, it's only acting,' but it's not ever just acting. At least not with me.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I've worked with Hollywood stars, but the reason most of the Hollywood stars I've worked with are Hollywood stars is that they're excellent actors, so I've been very lucky.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
Every time the Tories get a bit of power, they rip off all the things I love... The mining industry. Milk.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
On a conventional film, you do one take, and if it's good, they say, 'Let's do another one for insurance.'
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
It is joyous for any actor to enter other grounds of consciousness and thought. At the end of the day, we just all like dressing up and playing around.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
For me, 'Come and See' is, by a million miles, the best film about war that has ever been made. I would highly recommend, encourage and enforce anyone to watch it.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I'm Welsh. We didn't do 'Peter Pan.' We have far more ancient legends to be put to sleep with.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
In terms of partying and reckless abandon, I'm Don Juan. But, in terms of my heart, I'm the most loyal man you'll ever meet.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I am not gadgety at all. It's not that I'm appalled by technology, but I've taken my time acquiring any of it.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
Very often, actors have to face being rejected time and again, and we must remember that the red carpet lasts just a minute.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
More than any other super-hero, 'Spider-Man' presents us with something very local in its ethics. It's not messianic. It's far more tangible.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
There's two kinds of rock n' roll casualty: the one that has huge success and adoration, and then suddenly it stops. Or there's when you're in a band: it is all-consuming, so then you have the dream of that, and then the dream's taken away from you even before it happens.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I'm a real magpie when it comes to music; it's all random, and there's no pattern to what I like.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
Shyness is invariably a suppression of something. It's almost a fear of what you're capable of.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I've done a lot of Shakespeare onstage, and I'm not convinced that the Earl of Oxford was the author of all those works, but I am convinced that the Stratfordian William Shakespeare was not. My feeling is that it was an amalgamation of many writers, in the same way that most films are a collaborative endeavor.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
Acting is a tough, difficult job with long unsociable hours, although it can be a brilliant job, too. I don't want to complain too much, as nurses, farmers and teachers are out working long hours.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
When you act, you've got to be like a poet or a musician. It's not about evidence before court. It's not a forensic subject. It's poetry; it's a completely different place.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
As a Welsh speaker, I'm very conscious of how activism can effect real change.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I go to work, and I work very hard. I'm loyal, generous, true, kind, fair - all those boxes are ticked. I'm going to Heaven.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I'm a sporadic reader. I have moments when I can't stop... then I kind of forget that I can read. But then I go, 'Oh God, yeah, books!'
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
What was extraordinary about Occupy London was that it was a village with a louder voice than one of the biggest cities of the world.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
Edward Curtis was a photographer in the late 19th century who tried to document the rapidly disappearing Native Americans. He assembled a canon of work which, today, is exemplary and invaluable.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
I'll move back to Wales if and when I have children. I want them to speak the language I speak, but I love living in London. It's my favourite city in the whole world. I love it because it's not England, it's London.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
There is no such thing as a criminal life. Life is life, and life is criminalized. No one ever, in the history of life, has chosen a criminal life. No one has ever said, 'I want to be a criminal.' No one ever has done that.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
Film and stage are very different; I don't necessarily prefer one over the other. Every few years, I get a big itch to go back to the theater. To learn humility, to learn bravery and to remind yourself that the pistons that drive your craft are working on full power. And to remind yourself how badly paid actors can be.
Quote by -Rhys Ifans
The older I get, I'm really reminded how important the arts are to our wellbeing as a society.
