Bob Hoskins quotes about
serious actors entertainers
Actors are just entertainers, even the serious ones. That's all an actor is. He's like a serious Bruce Forsyth.
men emotional expression
I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We cant express ourselves emotionally, we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.
film forgotten
I've watched films and even forgotten I'm in them.
play dictator fats
Most dictators were short, fat, middle-aged and hairless. Besides Danny Devito, there's only me to play them.
spirit transformation christ
The Holy Spirit accompanies God's Word to bring revelation of Christ, resulting in transformation.
kids possibility monogamy
Monogamy is a possibility - and a necessity. Kids have got to have something they can rely on. You have got to have something you rely on.
feminist very-strong
I'm a feminist, yes! Very strongly.
I'd say I am partial to women.
faces rich handy
I am fairly rich. Money's very handy, let's face it.
expression careers interesting
I started my career by becoming a stalker, watching women in the street, the way they greet each other. I thought if I could capture some of that expression, that depth of emotion, it will make me interesting to watch as an actor.
i-love-you simple men
One of the things I've realised is that I am very simple. My wife asked me once if I loved her. I said: 'Look love, I'm a simple man. I love you. End of story.' But I guess you gotta keep saying it with women. I guess she needed reassurance.
bucket fire sick wrong
If you've got any sense of how wrong you could be then you could be very sick in the fire bucket before you go on
jobs home best-job
Acting is the best job in the world. Look at the way they treat you when you turn up for work. They give you breakfast and a cup of tea and ask, 'Are you all right' They tart up your face, you say somebody else's words, then pick up your check and go home. And you get days off. I tell you, it really is the way to live.
kids two easy
It's not easy to walk out on a marriage and two young kids, and it's the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.
