Quotes

Of course the lower classes have always felt downtrodden and aspired to a better life. But there is this theory that people respond to a class structure in England - there was a time when people knew who they were and knew whom they served and as long as management wasn't abusive, it was a good life for people.

Otherwise you just sort of stand around, looking slightly brain-dead. You worry about being uninteresting. Damian Lewis

I want to make a clear distinction between people who take acting seriously and people who call themselves actors because they've been on reality TV or something. Damian Lewis
