I like anything with my face on it, just from an aesthetic point of view.

I am a fan of the Coen brothers. I'm not a fanatic. I'm a big admirer. They create unique worlds, and there is a real atmosphere to their films. Not everyone can get that.

Martin Freeman -
To my mind there are not enough things that show the Nazis as human, as smart people, charismatic people, who are not inhuman naturally. But who are able to be fantastically inhuman when they choose to be.
Martin Freeman -
What makes Shakespeare eternal is his grasp of psychology. He knew how to nail stuff about us as human beings.
Martin Freeman -
To be honest, if people thought my performance in 'The Office' was the same as my performance in 'The Hobbit,' it would tell me everything I needed to know about what they know about acting.
