Quotes

[edit]
He's this sort of harborer of good and fun and madness, and he's the cleverest man in the universe — and the silliest man in the universe.
  • I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life.So if you’re playing a builder you get to know about building, if you’re playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive… that’s part of the reason I love it.

Quotes about Smith

[edit]
  • Smith is upbeat, open and chatty, with a goofy smile, dishevelled clothes and a tendency to fidget that makes him seem like a slightly nerdy younger brother all grown up. He has a genuine enthusiasm for everything he talks about, including the people he works with
  • The thrill he gets from music is something he wants theatre to be able to transmit. Of his favourite band,Radiohead,he says, with typical exuberance: "That’s it. That’s what I want when I go to the theatre, when I’m in a play, is them, and that experience that I get from them. I admire the musicianship, I admire the soul that goes into it, and the execution and the work, the preparation. Everything is done right, I think, and done with good intention and soul and heart and good spirit. They are a lesson to us all."
