Ioan Gruffudd quotes about
actors just-being brilliant
I know there are some actors who are just brilliant at improvising and brilliant at just being in the moment and doing it there and then. I'm not one of those actors.
los-angeles accents ifs
I could do an American accent, if I were immersed in the accent, meaning if I were living back in Los Angeles and rehearsing and auditioning the whole time.
thinking people parent
Being attractive, it's not something I do consciously. It's incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents.
falling-in-love character thinking
It's really an organic sort of process. You start off with the character on the page. You fall in love with that character and you have to represent that character well and I think it's just an evolution there. Using the accent and speaking the lines with the accent in fact opens the door to who the character really is.
character who-i-am names
I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am. My character. . . My make-up. My culture and heritage is a very rich one. So what if it's difficult for people to pronounce? We all learned how to say Schwarzenegger.
nice long finding-happiness
As long as you understand that you find happiness through family, friends and love, then money is just a nice bonus.
names people want
A few people have said that I should change my name and the spelling so that people can say it, but I don't want to, I like it the way it is.
thinking singing proud
To be honest, I think that I am a bit of a singer, coming from Wales; being Welsh, we are all very proud of our singing heritage.
children pet
I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child.
