Tom Hiddleston Quotes

Haters never win. I just think that's true about life, because negative energy always costs in the end.
Tom Hiddleston

Life, True, End

When people don't like themselves very much, they have to make up for it. The classic bully was actually a victim first.
Tom Hiddleston

Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama; fathers and sons, martyred heroes, star-crossed lovers, the deaths of kings - stories that taught us of the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility.

Humility, Lovers, Drama

Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming.
Tom Hiddleston

Fighting, Stop, Dreaming

I grew up watching 'Superman.' As a child, when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I was flying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on from a playground bully.
Tom Hiddleston

Girl, Learned, Dream

For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.
Tom Hiddleston

Time, Long, Everyone

I don't think anyone, until their soul leaves their body, is past the point of no return.
Tom Hiddleston

Past, Soul, Until

Tom Hiddleston

Nice, Plans, Hang

If the Loki in 'Thor' was about a spiritual confusion - 'Who am I? How do I belong in this world?' - the Loki in 'Avengers' is, 'I know exactly who I am, and I'm going to make this world belong to me.'
Tom Hiddleston

Spiritual, Confusion, Belong

Showing young children in these communities, that there are outlets for their feelings, that there is room in a space for their stories to be told, and that they will be applauded - and it's not about ego, it's about connection: that their pain is everybody else's pain.
Tom Hiddleston

Pain, Children, Ego

If you play it straight it's funny - the best comedy is always played straight down the middle. The adjustment is understanding from the screenplay that a moment is hilarious.
Tom Hiddleston

Funny, Best, Down

My father and I used to tussle about me becoming an actor. He's from strong, Presbyterian Scottish working-class stock, and he used to sit me down and say, 'You know, 99 percent of actors are out of work. You've been educated, so why do you want to spend your life pretending to be someone else when you could be your own man?'
Tom Hiddleston

Life, Work, Strong

The dream is to keep surprising yourself, never mind the audience.
Tom Hiddleston

Yourself, Mind, Keep

Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.
Tom Hiddleston

Humanity, Artists, Virtue

Tom Hiddleston

Amazing, Hard, Laugh

Heath Ledger's performance in 'The Dark Knight' quite simply changed the game. He raised the bar not just for actors in superhero films, but young actors everywhere; for me. His performance was dark, anarchic, dizzying, free, and totally, thrillingly, dangerous.
Tom Hiddleston

Game, Dark, Free

In our increasingly secular society, with so many disparate gods and different faiths, superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes, dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out.
Tom Hiddleston

Dreams, Society, Different

Our job is to represent the truth of human nature, whether you're playing a tender love story that's set in a coffee shop or whether you're in 'The Avengers,' which is set in a Manhattan which is exploding.
Tom Hiddleston

Love, Nature, Truth

The thing about playing gods, whether you're playing Thor and Loki or Greco Roman gods or Indian gods or characters in any mythology, the reason that gods were invented was because they were basically larger versions of ourselves.
Tom Hiddleston

Reason, Playing, Whether

With any role, you're extending yourself and acting out things that never happened to you.
Tom Hiddleston

Yourself, Acting, Happened

You look at the greatest villains in human history, the fascists, the autocrats, they all wanted people to kneel before them because they don't love themselves enough.
Tom Hiddleston

Love, History, Greatest

Actors do tend to get pigeonholed. People want to know who you are so they can put you in a box. It's lovely to be known for such diametrically opposite roles.
Tom Hiddleston

Put, Lovely, Known

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.
Tom Hiddleston

Funny, Two, Hell

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'
Tom Hiddleston
