Andrew Lincoln

I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.

I love science and that time in history when science and the humanities were the same thing.

I love acting. I just love it. It's in my bones.

If you love a character that gets killed, it's agony.

I like to think that I've got determination, and I'm fiercely protective of the people I love.

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

I think my wife has always been aware, whatever country we have been in, of my dramatic leading man status; a little too dramatic she would probably say.

There is nothing like mortal fear to galvanize a friendship.

Just to have the opportunity to play an American in America is a dream come true for me.

Having children was a revelation - it's like going through a doorway, and everything is different forever.

The thing that I love about Rick Grimes is that he pulls himself off the canvas even when he has been pummeled to the ground so many times. And either he gets up by himself - he drags himself up - or he is helped up by loved ones around him.

Guilt is never very far from Rick Grimes' shoulder. It comes with the package. He's a man who takes his responsibilities very heavily, not lightly.
