Excerpt from The Firth Division, interview by Nick Hornby
Colin Firth: "I think you have to be deranged to want to be famous. That isn't lack of ego, it's just that my ego works in a different way. I just want to be thought of as really very good. I want people to think, oh, Colin Firth, he's a good actor."


Also, Colin Firth on viewing The English Patient:
"I found myself sitting there with this incredibly passionate love story unfolding and thinking to myself, well, I don't see what's so moving about it, it doesn't turn me on. My wife's shagging this other bloke, what's so special about him anyway?" He laughs heartily and goes to the bar to buy me [Nick Hornby] a drink.
