Mackenzie Crook Quotations

It's been an incredible and intense period of work. It took so much longer than anyone could've expected.

I can usually keep a straight face while everyone else cracks up around me, which makes me feel quite humourless. Must be my professionalism!

I'd really like to make my way into film acting. I know it's probably every actor's dream, but cinema is one of my big passions.

Recently I've been collecting Star Wars figures again. When I was a kid I couldn't afford them. Now I can so I've been buying them and keeping them in their box for a later date when they'll be worth a lot of money.

I'd like to go back to standup. I don't like to think I've done my last gig. At the moment it terrifies me, I get really nervous. It's a great buzz when it goes well.

I like the fact you can spend two hours setting up a scene that will only last a couple of seconds. And I like just sitting around and dozing between scenes!

I don't have much choice these days in how I have my hair.

All the parts I get offered are character and comedy parts, and I probably wouldn't get them if I had a different face. So I'm glad I have a comedy face.

I haven't got a car or a house. I've got a wife, but I didn't pay for her! I spend all my money on my glorious wife. She's here with a knife at my throat!

I spend days with writers' block. It is a problem.

It's not a very secure industry. I've spoken to a couple of people recently who had a successful TV show and then found themselves absolutely skint and struggling to find a job.

My son thinks I'm hilarious, but he's only 1.

I like the outdoors and the natural world. Environmental issues.

I still draw a lot though. Ballpoint pen is my preferred medium.
