Quotes by Tom Sturridge
So many things I thought I was doing have fallen apart. Until I've finished filming, I don't believe I have the job.
There I am, watching Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of my favourite actors in the world, walk into the room dressed up as Father Christmas, being hilarious, and I'm suddenly thinking, 'Where am I?'
My career may look bizarre to some, but I have very strong reasons for doing every single job I've done.
If I'd been a parent to myself, I would have been scared because I was only ever interested in my own thoughts.
As a Shakespeare character, if you can persuade someone in a sentence or a speech, you've got it right.
I found that the more I'd done Shakespeare, and the more I trusted my instincts and applied the same rules you would apply to any scene, the closer I got to how it's meant to be acted.
