Jack Davenport's Quotes
- [describing his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)] "The chap in the duffle coat jumping up and down in the background!"
- During my childhood, I was surrounded by actors and all I remember is they were fun to be around. That kind of sticks.
- People tell me that Hollywood loves new faces, but I don't know. They're probably just being nice.
- [About how his This Life (1996) character, "Miles Stewart", was received by the public] A lot of drunken women came up to me in pubs telling me I was a bastard. To begin with, I tried to explain that the show wasn't real, but then I found a better tactic was to look them in the eye and say "Yeah, you know what? I am".
- I try not to see acting as anything other than a job. I hate it when I say to people I'm unemployed, and they say "you mean you're resting?" I'm like "No, unemployed", because I am. That's what acting's about - making a living.
