"Not really. I think the thing that's required the most courage that I've done in the name of romance was getting married, to be honest. If you're as scared of marriage as I was, it's a pretty romantic thing to have done. That and learning her language, I suppose."
'I have no concept of how women operate, and the list of things I find baffling about them is fairly endless. I think there will always be an enigma to the relationship between the sexes, and I think the enigma is an insoluble one. I don't think we'll ever reach perfect understanding. I can't imagine it being particularly desirable to do so. I think a bit of a mystery keeps it alive, don't you?'
'It's this sort of, Englishmen of a certain class. English men of a certain class thrown together with no one but a matron to look after them, and as a result, you know, we have a rather high quota of conservative politicians found dead from acts of auto-eroticism.''
"Hugh has always been a miserable fighter, I find that he's physically deteriorated in the last three years. I have to be very careful and gentle with him now. I keep finding myself saying, 'Sorry,' and calling him a nurse and giving him a pill and a blanket."
'Being a father is more like passionate love than I'd imagined,' Firth tells the paper in a move calculated to have most of Britain's 30-somethings throwing their knickers at him. 'You have the same sense of being on the brink of being out of control, and of utter euphoria. It's what makes life most worth living - no question.'
"The one thing about having kids is it gets your priorities straight. And besides them, nothing else really matters."
'Oh yeah they've done that before. [using different voices and mannerisms] 'I saw you in that film last night. You were terrible, weren't you?' Or else they'll say, 'You're Colin Firth' but they'll make it sound like an accusation, so it will be, 'You're Colin Firth.' And I'll say, 'Yes, alright, you've got me. It's true, I confess.' And then they'll look at you for a second and say, 'No you're not.' 'Well, it's my name and everything, you know, okay...' 'Ma, this guy reckons he's Colin Firth.' So I'll say, 'All right, game's up. I'm not Colin Firth.' And go, 'Yes, you are, you're not fooling me.' So in this surreal situation of actually trying to convince people you're not who you say you're not.' |
