Your one certainty in life, your power as a human being, is that you have a choice in every situation about what you do next and about how you take what has happened to you.

Ben Whishaw

I think I have a degree of confidence, but I also have terrible insecurity, like anybody does.
BEN WHISHAW

Degrees Insecurity Thinking
I’ve been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don’t understand what the hell is going on. I’ve no desire at all to go back there.

Finding Looks People Yourself
I don’t think I am especially interested in celebrities, but I love talking about what is going on with people and why they do what they do.
BEN WHISHAW

People Talking Thinking
I always feel I am in the dark. You are never finished… it is not as if you can look back and think: ah… I know what I am talking about. You are only as good as your last job and are always struggling and striving and you never quite get to where you want to be.

In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there’s so much that’s against you on a film set.
