I was quite a shy child. I would get terribly nervous and throw up before my birthday party. And then I would be fine. I feel the same now. I get nervous, then its fine. – Matthew Macfadyen
My vanity is Im terribly romantic! But being married is lovely. – Matthew Macfadyen
I dont feel like a romantic lead I guess I feel more like a character actor. – Matthew Macfadyen
The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that youre not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, youll make yourself unhappy, because life doesnt work like that. So much is luck. Its much better to let yourself off, to think, Theres nothing I can do. – Matthew Macfadyen
