"Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part."

Asa Don Brown

"My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it."

"Acting is happy agony."

Asa Don Brown

"Acting is something different to everybody. I just know that if you watch an actor or actress getting better and better, I think that's them just understanding themselves better and better."

Asa Don Brown

"But then acting is all about faking. We're all very good at faking things that we have no competence with."

Asa Don Brown

"Acting is easier than skating in a way and harder in other aspects. In skating, you get one chance, and with acting you get to do it over and over."

Quote_1.png
Asa Don Brown

"Well, acting was just in me and I tried to avoid it. I didn't want to do what my parents did, you know?"

Quote_1.png
Asa Don Brown

"Acting is a win-win situation. There is no risk involved. That's why I get tired of hearing actors who try to make out that there's a downside to it. Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad."

"I'm a British intern going in. I'm hoping that John will just kind of tackle it from who this person is and what she's about rather than trying to go in on her culture. We need to move a step forward than that."

"And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled."
Quote_1.png
Parminder Nagra
"No, I didn't quite know to what extent the football might be, but it was quite a bonus for me to try to learn new skills and to keep fit at the same time."

Parminder Nagra
"At times those skills were really hard to do because not only was I having to contend with the camera, but I was having to learn these new skills and the ball was always kind of doing what you didn't want it to do. So it got a little bit frustrating at times but we got there."

"My father in the film - which we probably haven't seen in previous movies, and in British Asian movies you could probably count on one hand - he says exactly why, actually why he's frightened for his daughter. He came to this country, England, and had a bit of a crappy time."

"Before I started doing the film and when I found out I was going to be doing it, I just decided to pump up on the whole cardio stuff. Just in terms of stamina."
