I consciously decided not to be a 'London' actor. Those gangster movies made a lot of East End actors think they were movie stars. And I was very aware that they were going to go out of fashion. Eddie Marsan actorawareconsciously Change image and share on social
I want to be respected as an actor. There's my ego. But I don't have a great need to be liked by an audience. Eddie Marsan actoraudienceego Change image and share on social

I'd love to play a Bond villain. Yeah, I'd love to play a Bond villain. Everyone always says this to me; they always say, 'You've got to be a Bond villain', 'We're going to make you a Bond villain...' But they've never, ever approached me, I've never had a whiff of it. I think I'd love to play a Bond villain; I'd have great fun. Eddie Marsan approachbondfun share on social

Different races never fazed me because coming from Bethnal Green, I'd been around people of different races forever. Different class? That was much harder. Eddie Marsan bethnalclasscome Change image and share on social
I sometimes think if I had gone to Oxford or Cambridge and looked like a handsome young guy who could be in an Evelyn Waugh novel or something, I'd be a massive movie star. But there's a longevity to what I do. It's more reliable. Someone isn't deciding that I'm the next big thing. Eddie Marsan bigcambridgedecide share on social
I'm used to being in front of camera and knowing what to think. But if you're asking me to be me, I get very self-conscious. My job isn't to be me. Being an actor, people think you can do a eulogy at a funeral, a speech at a wedding. I find all that very nerve-racking. Eddie Marsan actorcameraconscious share on social
I was brought up in a house full of women; the first time I realised no one was interrupting me was when I was on stage - that's probably the subconscious reason I became an actor. Eddie Marsan actorbringfull Change image and share on social
