Martin Clunes Quotations

I live on a farm in Dorset. The nearest neighbour is a quarter of a mile away. It's really quiet, with an amazing view - can't see a pylon, can't see a road. Blockbuster's an event in our house, when the little blue envelope comes in.

For me, family feels like a web of love and care, and instinctively, too, I do just like nurturing things.

As first and foremost a character actor, I've always resisted the temptation to cure any of the people I've played or make them lovable in any way; you've just got to celebrate them for what they are.

You do get into a groove, which is great, when you get to act with the same people a lot. Like with Caroline Catz - it's like a duet: you're like a duo jamming together.

Really, for an actor, it's all about remembering a lot of stuff - and keeping the moustache on.

We have a fair on our farm every year - a gymkhana and a dog show and a funfair and a heavy-horse show. It was my idea. Be careful what you wish for - it's a monster.

My horses make very silly faces when I'm preparing their meals.

Do I suffer for my art? Well, I get a lot of flatulence when I'm nervous.

The main trouble with women is that they will just not put the seat back up again.

I think people need entertaining, and they like being entertained. That's all I do. I don't do anything important; I just work in entertainment.
