Richard and Thorin Creation

Richard Armitage

"I try to be quite a detailed actor. People were really picking up on that. 

Even if it was just a flicker of the eye or something, they got it."

"You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character. 

At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are."

Constantin Stanislavski

"If you know your character's thoughts, 

the proper vocal and bodily expressions will naturally follow."

"The eye is the window of your soul."

"Love art in yourself and not yourself in art."

"Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. 

Make up something that will work for you! 

But keep breaking traditions, I beg you."

Carl Gustav Jung

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect 

but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. 

The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.”

Jean-Paul Sartre

“Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities 

and adding some of your own experience.”

Ewan Dobson - Time 2 - Guitar

Richard Armitage - Sometimes dreams come true

I was looking for this song on YT and I remembered that GizTheGunslinger made fanvid with this one. Thank You :)

Strike Back (Richard Armitage - John Porter) - 

Seven Nation Army

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And a message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
tell me "go back home"

"I don't buy it" - Richard Armitage

"Because of something I've done" - Richard Armitage

One of my fav from
Fleetwood Mac - Sara

Wait a minute baby...

Stay with me awhile

Said youd give me light

But you never told be about the fire

Drowning in the sea of love

Where everyone would love to drown

And now its gone

It doesnt matter anymore

When you build your house

Call me home

And he was just like a great dark wing

Within the wings of a storm

I think I had met my match -- he was singing

And undoing the laces

Undoing the laces

Drowning in the sea of love

Where everyone would love to drown

And now its gone

It doesnt matter anymore

When you build your house

Call me home

Hold on

The night is coming and the starling flew for days

Id stay home at night all the time

Id go anywhere, anywhere

Ask me and Im there because I care

Sara, youre the poet in my heart

Never change, never stop

And now its gone

It doesnt matter what for

When you build your house

Ill come by

Drowning in the sea of love

Where everyone would love to drown

And now its gone

It doesnt matter anymore

When you build your house

Call me home

All I ever wanted

Was to know that you were dreaming

(theres a heartbeat

And it never really died)

Guy of Gisborne - Without her...

That was quite long time when I was listen to this song last time.

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

I still dream of Organon.

I wake up crying.

You're making rain,

And you're just in reach,

When you and sleep escape me.

You're like my yo-yo

That glowed in the dark.

What made it special

Made it dangerous,

So I bury it

And forget.

But every time it rains,

You're here in my head,

Like the sun coming out--

Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.

And I don't know when,

But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,

Looking over the edge,

You could see them coming.

You looked too small

In their big, black car,

To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo

In the garden.

I can't hide you

From the government.

Oh, God, Daddy--

I won't forget,

'Cause every time it rains,

You're here in my head,

Like the sun coming out--

Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.

And I don't know when,

But just saying it could even make it happen.

The sun's coming out.

Your son's coming out.

Something real inside me - Richard Armitage

This is quote from RA interview which is em... really intimate in one part... but there are wonderful quotes about acting and acting skills :)

Propaganda - Heaven give me words

Take these words

They come out wrong

They won't express this old emotional thing

If you could see inside my mind

You'd know the love and feel this passionate thing

You stepped into my locked out world

I felt your touch on my shoulder

You turned my mind right over

Like a child before it learns to speak

I turn to stone

I turn to stone

Heaven give me words to tell you

How I am feeling

What I am needing

Heaven let this message reach you

This desparation

Will stop my heart from beating

I won't be giving in

I'll die if I don't tell you just how I feel

I'll make you truly understand

What kind of man could live with feelings of steel

I used to be so self contained

When I thought about love

A conversation heart to heart

I must confess this old emotional thing

Before you think that I'm a fool

There's a flame that burns here

Here's a feeling that's so rare

It's my nightmare when I go to speak

I turn to stone

I turn to stone

You've seen a heart worn on my sleeve

I must express this old emotional thing

Please be a witness to my dreams

Or I'll wake up and say now

Can this be real?

Before you think that I'm a fool

There's a flame that burns here

Here's a feeling so rare

It's my nightmare when I go to speak

I turn to stone

I turn to stone

I'm really born to late :/ but I have to thanks my bro who invite me in wonderful '70 and '80 and early '90 music world :)

BTW: sorry if this pic is too purple. I have problems with monitor.

I Came Alone - Lucas North

Spooks season 8 episode 4 is my fav from Spooks. Not because of "boiler suit scene". Just because of Lucas' plot and one of the the most incredible endings. This is one of the best episodes, not only in season 8.

(Used screens made by me)

Massive Attack - Angel

You are my angel

Come from way above

To bring me love

Her eyes

She's on the dark side

Neutralize

Every man in sight

To love you, love you, love you ...

You are my angel

Come from way above

To love you, love you, love you ...

One shot for Lucas - Richard Armitage

EDIT: I really have problems to watching RA photos from Five Women in Film and TV Awards. This show was in 7 Dec 2007, month or 2 before shooting Spooks season 7. And RA was looking thin and unwell :/ and most pale than ever :/ Was unrecognisable. I always tried to do something bearable with these photos. This is really hard :/. Thanks that Thorin isn't skinny :)

That was some time ago when I heard this song :).

Jon And Vangelis - I'll Find My Way Home (1981)

You ask me where to begin

Am I so lost in my sin

You ask me where did I fall

I'll say I can't tell you when

But if my spirit is lost

How will I find what is near

Don't question I'm not alone

Somehow I'll find my way home

My sun shall rise in the east

So shall my heart be at peace

And if you're asking me when

I'll say it starts at the end

You know your will to be free

Is matched with love secretly

And talk will alter your prayer

Somehow you'll find you are there

Your friend is close by your side

And speaks in far ancient tongue

A season's wish will come true

All seasons begin with you

One world we all come from

One world we melt into one

Just hold my hand and we're there

Somehow we're going somewhere

Somehow we're going somewhere

You ask me where to begin

Am I so lost in my sin

You ask me where did I fall

I'll say I can't tell you when

But if my spirit is strong

I know it can't be long

No questions I'm not alone

Somehow I'll find my way home

Somehow I'll find my way home

Somehow I'll find my way home

Somehow I'll find my way home

Place to be - Richard Armitage

I'm really stressed-out :/ Daily portion of TheRapy :)

Apollo 440 - Electro Glide In Blue

I'm more dope than heroin, sharper than a needle

I'm more dope than heroin, sharper than a needle

Maybe I'm a loveboy, hooked on an aphrodisiac

Maybe I'm a strange one, maybe I'm a twisted maniac

Hey, you never can tell

Maybe you can touch the taste by the sense of smell

Who's to say that heaven is in hell

Escaping reality's touch

Just in time - just in time before the bite gets too much

Who's to say that heaven is in hell - can this be hell?

Maybe I'm a loveboy, hooked on an aphrodisiac

Or maybe I'm a strange one, maybe I'm a twisted maniac

Hey, you never can tell

Maybe you can touch the taste by the sense of smell

Who's to say that heaven is in hell

Can this be hell, oh well, oh well, oh well

Escaping reality's touch, yeah

Now just in time before the bite gets too much

Hey, hey, hey, you never can tell

I said, said, hey, you never can tell

Maybe you can touch the taste by the sense of smell

I said maybe you can touch the taste by the sense of smell

Who's to say that heaven is in hell

Can this be hell, oh well, oh well, oh well

Escaping reality's touch

Just in time before the bite gets too much

I'm more dope than heroin, sharper than a needle

I'm more dope than heroin, sharper than a needle

Sharper than a needle

I'm sharper than a needle

Sharper than a needle, needle, needle, needle, no

Yeah, sharper than a needle

Yeah, sharper than a needle

Hey, hey, hey, hey, you never can tell

Maybe you can touch the taste by the sense of smell

Who's to say that heaven is in hell

Can this be hell - oh well, oh well, oh well

Escaping reality's touch

Yeah, just in time - just in time before the bite gets too much

People won't see you - Richard Armitage

Thank You to RussiAn RA site for photoshot :) Hard day at work. I had to do a little bit of TheRApy. My boss is mental or maybe this is only menopause... Nope.. mental.

Apollo 440 - N'existe pas

It's five AM in my loft

Too many miles on my clock

The hip-hop station plays soft

But this ain't nothing I can turn off

All the love in the world

And all the diamonds and pearls

And all my hate for the girl... N'existe pas

There's nothing left to be done

There's nothing left that's real

There's nothing left to buy, beg, borrow or steal

There's nothing left to win

There's nothing left to prove

There's nothing I can't afford to lose

I'm gonna make you see

There's nothing here but you and me

I'm gonna make you know

Ain't nothing up here

I'm gonna make you see

There's nothing here but you and me

I'm gonna make you know

Ain't nothing up here or way down below

Put a record on

But the music's all wrong

There ain't no score for the tip that I'm on

Right now

They took Manhattan today

Some dudes blew it away

It's hard to see it their way

All the women I've loved

And all the hate in this town

And all the shit goin' down

There's nothing left to be done

There's nothing left that's real

There's nothing left to buy, beg, borrow or steal

There's nothing left to win

There's nothing left to prove

There's nothing I can't afford to lose

I'm gonna make you see

There's nothing here but you and me

I'm gonna make you know

Ain't nothing up here

I'm gonna make you see

There's nothing here but you and me

I'm gonna make you know

Ain't nothing up here or way down below

There's nothing left to be done

There's nothing left that's real

There's nothing left to buy, beg, borrow or steal

There's nothing left to win

There's nothing left to prove

There's nothing I can't afford to lose

Just some fun :) - Richard Armitage's epic quotes

"Who's James Bond?" ;D EPIC!

(GMTV - Richard Arnold - 4th November 2009)

"I try not to wear black" ;D MORE EPIC!!! 

(BBC America Interview June 2008)

and some from my music

Fluke - Bermuda
(from "Risotto" 1997)

I can't hear myself
Aint' that beautiful

I am drowned out by the roar
Floating back up from the shore
It is wonderful

It is easy
Take your time
Take all day
I don't mind

Stretch it out
For all our lives

I can't hear myself
It is fine
I am mumbled by the trees
Silenced by the bees
So right...
