Richard C. Armitage
instant visual
I have a visual mind, so when I read a book, I get an instant picture in my head and it's very clear.
painted quite
Monet was like a conductor. He painted with quite a straight arm and used bold strokes.
exists outside
Being thought of as sexy makes one employable, but it's not going to last forever, so I try not to think about it. It's like something that exists outside of me.
interested money
Personally, I'm not interested in getting more money for what I do; I'm just interested in more money being put into the production.
great lost tv
I kind of got lost down a road of TV and film, so it's great to come back to theatre.
describe themselves
Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.
awful loads slope zealand
I've done an awful lot of skiing all over Europe: I've done Italy, Austria, France. I skied loads in New Zealand - I did pretty much every ski slope I could find.
alone excited finishing five jackson narrative peter rather stands
The narrative that Peter Jackson has put into 'The Battle of the Five Armies,' it stands alone as a film. Rather than just finishing off the story, it's like a whole new adventure all of its own. I'm very excited about it.
bought park
Someone told me a woman bought a dog so she could take it to the same park where I go running, but I'm hoping that's rubbish.
baddies
You've got to have baddies that you can boo.
cast guy shirt takes
I want to be strong enough to cope with the roles, but I don't want to be cast as the guy that takes his shirt off.
life reject
You can't reject anything in your life as an artist. Everything has its use.
draw low mum public whisper
My mum will not speak above a low whisper in public because she doesn't want to draw attention to herself.
people time
People get to know me slowly and over the course of time. I'll probably still be a newcomer when I'm 60.
