Quotes

(On his contrasting roles in "The Forsyte Saga" and "The Escapist")
Damian Lewis: If it surprises people, then I'm delighted because in art - I've just likened my acting to art so I have to be very careful - you have to challenge. The big bugbear for an actor is typecasting, but I think I have managed to avoid that. (edit)
Damian Lewis: I think Helen (wife) is the best actress of her generation, but I'm biased. She's got a very rare ability to play leading women as total character parts. (edit)
Damian Lewis: Being a detective solving the crime each week for me is about as cool as it gets. Apart from being Clint Eastwood. (edit)
Damian Lewis: I used to take my shoes off to cross the street so I'd look like Paul [McCartney] on the record. (edit)
Damian Lewis: If one of your fantasies is lying on a bed in Hollywood, surrounded by eight naked women, then another is to have a beautiful wife and a nice rambling house in London with three kids running around... perhaps it's good to have a bit of tension in your fantasy life. (edit)
