A Quote by Bill Nighy

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it. — © Bill Nighy
The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.
People were hysterical about Communism the way people today are hysterical about flag burning. I'm really against these people who try to show that they're great patriots, because they're not thinking, they're just being hysterical.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. It's easy. Nothing you can make that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. It's easy. Nothing you can know that isn't known. Nothing you can see that isn't shown. Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.
To whatever degree you have as a celebrity or notoriety, there are people who see you as an opinion leader.
I've never had much notoriety. It's fine with me.
I've always had this impression that notoriety came when you're trying to get notoriety.
There is nothing fine about being a child: it is fine, when we are old, to look back to when we were children.
I know absolutely nothing about where I'm going. I'm fine with that. I'm happy about it. Before, I had nothing. I had no life, no friends, and no family really, and I didn't really care. I had nothing, and nothing to lose, and then I knew loss. What I cared about was gone; it was all lost. Now I have everything to gain; everything is a clean slate. It's all blank pages waiting to be written on. It's all about going forward. It's all about uncertainty and possibilities.
I guess I get the most notoriety from my shooting. But I like passing and movement, making the game easy.
I don't ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, 'The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.' The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy.
It's only people who are hysterical who can play hysterical parts.
If you tell Congress everything about the world situation, they get hysterical. If you tell them nothing, they go fishing.
I used to love fine dining, but I lost my appetite for it to a degree because sometimes it is too much about the effort and too little about the result.
I didn't act in college, per se, because I didn't want an acting degree. I don't know what you do with that degree. When I was 16, I saw 'Usual Suspects,' and I wanted to be a director as well. So I thought I should go to school for directing and producing, something I knew nothing about.
Nothing about becoming indispensable is easy. If it's easy, it's already been done and it's no longer valuable.
There's nothing on my mind that couldn't be expressed by a long insane outburst of hysterical rage.
At a turbulent public meeting once I lost my temper and said some harsh and sarcastic things. The proposal I was supporting was promptly defeated. My father who was there, said nothing, but that night, on my pillow I found a marked passage from Aristotle: Anybody can become angry--that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way -- that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
