"We have the best driver in the world in drifting and best guy in rally racing and stuff like that. So obviously there's a lot of stuff that I didn't do, but there's a lot of really incredible things that I don't think we've ever seen an actor do."

Jeremy Northam
"I don't have the energy or the mental security to get involved with all that. I think it's a good idea to be able to disappear into the story, so that the first thing the audience sees isn't you, but the part."

Idea

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"I'd always liked the idea that drama acts at its best as a kind of arena for debate, not just about the thing itself, but also producing aesthetic, stylistic, political and moral discussions."

Idea

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"Surely the job of fiction is to actually tell the truth. It's a paradox that's at the heart of any kind of storytelling."

Truth

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"My dad served in the Air Force as ground crew for several years, and doesn't really talk about it. I know that it's there. I think my main thing about direct or indirect experiences as near to home as it were is the idea of self-sacrifice really."

Father

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"I don't consider 41 being in prime of life. Even if I conceived a child tomorrow I'd be 52 by the time it was 10. I'm not sure I'd have the energy, and I find that quite scary."

Time

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"All the great novels, all the great films, all the great dramas are fictions that actually tell us the truth about us or about human nature or about human situations without being tied into the minutia of documentary events. Otherwise we might as well just make documentaries."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"The Jungian view of drama would be that it affects all of our imaginations and somehow taps into our hidden, ancient, primordial memories."

Drama

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"As an actor, you ask yourself what you can do to put yourself in a position where you can play that role."

Actor

Quote_1.png
Jeremy Northam
"I'm just a hired actor who was hired for a particular job, but I think one of the joys of reading the script was the way that the personal and the global are woven together."

Actor

"The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening, and cooking, which I rarely do in London."
