Straight Face Quotes

• Los diplomáticos británicos, constantemente expuestos a la retórica ético-política estadounidense, ven sus habilidades profesionales puestas a prueba hasta el límite por la necesidad de mantener la cara seria.

• It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.

• Si alguna vez un tío te cuenta una historia de sexo de cuatro horas con cara seria, compadécete de él. No por mentirte a ti, sino por mentirse a sí mismo. De hecho, párale en mitad de la historia y abrázale. Nueve de cada diez veces se echará a llorar. Sabe que lo sabes.

• I think the best kind of comedy is the least self conscious. I think if you just sort of let the comedy happen without the elbow nudge, did you get it, did you get it. I love straight face comedy or subtle - relatively subtle comedy.

• Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face. In mainstream fiction and even in a good deal of mystery, these things are presented as simply two sides of the same coin. Never really more than a matter of where you happen to be standing.

• Nadie podría argumentar con cara seria que las parejas que se casan hoy son mucho más felices sólo porque sus celebraciones nupciales cuesten tres veces más que las de 1980. Las mansiones más grandes y las fiestas más costosas son un despilfarro en el mismo sentido en que lo son las cornamentas más grandes de todos los alces toros. La buena noticia es que unos simples cambios en el sistema fiscal pueden eliminar gran parte de este despilfarro sin tener que negar a la gente el derecho a decidir por sí misma cómo gastar mejor su dinero.

• The most difficult thing about shooting guns instantly on film is to not pull a silly face while the gun is going off, because it's always a bit of a shock. So you find yourself sticking your tongue out or blinking or whatever. So the hardest thing is to keep a straight face while you're shooting a gun.

• I don’t know if I’d do an action movie because I don’t know if I could keep a straight face honestly, I just think it’s so silly. Like I love watching them but I can’t imagine me doing one. Actually, you know what I’ve done, just for fun because I didn’t think there was any way that I could be in a superhero movie, so I’ve done a scene in the new “Thor” movie, just for that. I just do like one scene, which was quite fun.

• La respuesta es que todos creemos nuestros propios sistemas, nuestras propias ideas, porque las ideas vibrantes e independientes triunfarán sobre este Borg corporativo y plástico, sobre este lavado de cerebro que intentan imponer. Quiero decir, prohibir 'padre' y 'madre', prohibir las palabras 'marido' y 'mujer', es tan sectario que si me hubieran dicho hace diez años que iban a prohibir palabras como esas, no lo habría creído. Lo hacen con cara seria. Quiero decir, ¿la izquierda, y por supuesto la derecha controlada también, se han vuelto colectivamente locos en una inclinación de control-friki? ¿O hay una estrategia?

• I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report. I forced myself to deal with it and not dwell on the class in front of me - to keep a straight face, give the report and concentrate on getting it right. That's normally how I perform. That's how I am.
