I’m probably not very good at rom-com, being funny on demand; I’ll leave that to the comedians. – Richard C. Armitage
I’m not interested in building wealth, which is kind of naive and probably frowned on, living in America. It’s something that people don’t necessarily understand, but if I die poor, I die poor. – Richard C. Armitage

I confess I’ve got a yearning to go to Los Angeles, but I can’t work out if it is because a lot of British actors seem to go or because there’s this perception that the bottom has fallen out of British drama, so therefore, it’s the place to head for. – Richard C. Armitage

I’ve done an awful lot of skiing all over Europe: I’ve done Italy, Austria, France. I skied loads in New Zealand – I did pretty much every ski slope I could find. – Richard C. Armitage
I’m not a massive fan of 3D. I’ve seen some good 3D, and I’ve seen quite a lot of bad 3D. I think if a film is created for the shock effect of 3D, then it’s a certain type of film that I’m not massively bothered about. – Richard C. Armitage
Tolkien made dwarf sign language because, you know, it’s too loud to talk in the mines. – Richard C. Armitage
