Brendan Coyle Quotations

I'm single, I'm looking for something meaningful.

I took a gamble in becoming an actor and my dream job has been realised.

I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation. I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy.

I left school at 16 but I wish I'd gone to university - I think I would have studied English literature. I had a knack for that. But I don't think you have the kind of wisdom at 16 to make that decision.

I'm going to be 50 soon. I'm single, I'm looking for something meaningful. By the time you've been single for quite a long time, you can get quite specific about what you can and can't put up with.

You get a lot of people requesting photographs but I tend to keep myself to myself, pull my cap down.

I think with Sky and BBC Three and Channel 4, there are some great television platforms, and the stand-up movement in this country is phenomenal. Its like rock n roll here. Britains a funny place and theres a lot of funny people coming out of there and a lot of people are finding mediums to express themselves.

It's not something that's at the forefront of my mind, but I think I'd regret it if I didn't have children.

When I was in my 30s, I was at the end of a long-term relationship and going through a very hard time. I'd had about 15 different addresses and a series of relationships. I thought, 'It's time to have a look at yourself.'

I'm more rooted in new plays and new writing.
