More quotes by Jeremy Northam

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

I always want to do things that are different. I don't want to be doing the same thing, the same performance constantly, and it feels like most people tell you they are the same. However different you feel might approach them.
