Taron Egerton Quotations

I don't want to look back at my career and see a string of incredibly commercial projects that don't have much heart. I'm looking for things that have soul.

I'm into books – I love literature, so I toyed with the idea of being an English teacher. I had a fantastic English teacher at school. I think great English teachers make the world go round.

If there's one thing I've learnt, it's that I don't think a man ever looks better than when he's in a suit. So I'm wearing them increasingly, not in my personal life, but in my professional life, and I'm really enjoying it.

All my friends are Welsh, I speak Welsh, and I feel very Welsh.

I think a British icon is someone who conducts themself with real dignity: someone who is truly talented and modest. These are things that I would aspire to in my career.

I don't think I'm going to become Brad Pitt overnight, but I presume if walk down Oxford Street, there is a chance someone might clock me.

I can afford to get Tescos finest sandwiches rather than the basic ones.

I can say I'm not doing 'X-Men.' I love the franchise, and I love the people who make them on and off screen.

I get cast as a lot of sympathetic characters. I'd like to play someone really unpleasant.

I have absolutely no interest in playing the young male lead around which a story happens.

I like dogs, I just don't choose to spend time with them.

I loved DreamWorks and Pixar, and I still love kids films.

I only act in films where I've got an A-lister as my mentor.

I want to surprise people and do different things and maybe do something that's not quite financially rewarding.

I'm trying to play parts which are a little more out there, but I want variety.

I've got Colin Firth's number in my phone!

I've met some incredible people who I really admire.

I've never considered myself to be a fashionista type of guy.

Of course, everyone would like to play a superhero, but this is by no means me saying I would like to go play Cyclops.

This is going to sound a bit weird because she's a lot older than I am, but I've got a thing for Meryl Streep.

If I could play any superhero... my favorite superhero is Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield is wonderful at doing it to the point that I don't think I should play it.

Jason [Sudeikis] is a successful actor and comedian, I don't think that he takes comedic roles any less seriously than he does dramatic roles.

I don't have much desire to move to LA much yet. I don't think you can expect it any time soon, but who knows what can happen in the future.

When a bunch of stuff is happening on set, you have to remember the grander purpose: you're telling a story, so you have to get to that moment, and that takes supreme focus.

I'm not sure that I want my life to consist of Hollywood franchises, to be honest. There are other types of work that I'm interested in, like theater and just more serious drama and I just don't know.

To be perfectly honest, I like pressure. It's something I find exciting. And I am the kind of personality that gets very bored very easily. The work I try and involve myself with is ordinarily determined by how much it sort of frightens me.
