“Every job is different. I don't think that I've ever had that wonderful feeling when you've finished a job or where you feel like you've mastered it or sort of nailed it... You can never be satisfied. If you're satisfied, it's time to retire.” IfsThinkingFeelsDifferentFeelingsJobsWonderfulLike YouFinishedSatisfiedRetiring Author:Alfred Molina
“I like doing everything - theater and film, radio and TV, comedy and tragedy. I love it all. And I've never really planned anything - I've always looked at my job in a rather simplistic way. It's like being a plumber. One day you might be fixing an early 20th century showerhead that requires real detailed work. The other day you might just be clearing a sewer. Both jobs are very different, but all the tools come out of the same box. That's the way I look at acting.” DifferentRealFilmActingComedyOne DayTragedy20th CenturyPlumber Author:Alfred Molina
“I think, because of my background, which is slightly more exotic than the average British actor, I think, I sort of occupied this little niche quite early on of playing the foreign guy. It started way back at drama school, I played an Eastern European heavy, I played the Russian mobster. And I have done all those different ethnic roles, and I think it's partly because of my look, I think I've got an adaptable sort of nondescript ethnicity, which you can't quite pin down, but it's enough to kind of get a flavor of something.” ThinkingKindDifferentDoneEnoughSchoolGuyDramaEasternNiche Author:Alfred Molina
“I've always been terrified about being bored. I always think being bored is the worst thing. The only strategic decision I ever made as an actor was to try and make each job as different as possible.” ThinkingTryingMadeDifferentJobsActorsDecisionWorstBoredTerrifiedWorst ThingsStrategicBeing Bored Author:Alfred Molina
