38 Quotes by Noel Clarke

I was offered and accepted a part in 'A Few Best Men,' and then the Australian actor's union argued that there were too many British actors. And the director decided to lose me.

I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they’re the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema?

I’m a nice guy to anyone I meet, until they show me they don’t deserve niceness. I’ll turn very quickly. But I’m pretty pleasant overall.

I’d always much rather be second choice on anything because it makes you work harder.
