Michael Sheen: (about playing soccer at RADA) There is nothing quite like a drama-school football match because every single guy wants to prove that he's not a poof, so they are the most violent games you've ever seen.
Michael Sheen: (about being famous) It's weird meeting people for the first time and realising they know more about your private life than you know about them. You'll be sitting in a pub chatting to a stranger and half way through they mention something about your daughter living in America. What?
Michael Sheen: I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable. I played a normal person once but I ended up making it abnormal in its normality. I've never met anyone normal. Normal people - ie, people who aren't actors - are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. I'll talk to someone and come away thinking, they are clinically insane. The only way I can put that into what I do is by playing very extreme characters.
