Ralph Fiennes received The Variety UK Achievement in Film Award during the BFI 52nd London Film Festival on October 27, 2008 in London, England:
Here’s what he had to say about being in the film business:
“Often I think people haven’t experienced the high pressure of a filming schedule.
“It isn’t all celebration and glamour and glitz. The public see all the red carpets and the gossip columns and the fashion side of things. But actually it’s very, very, very long hours, quite high risk and expensive, and everyone has to commit.
“So it’s always a huge achievement when anyone makes it look easy making a film.”

You know, I love Ralph Fiennes, but I really think it’s silly when actors go on and on about how tough they have it. They get a LOT of money for their work, a lot of percs, while the rest of us slog away for very little. I think it’s embarrassing when they want us to think that they’re really having such a rough time, don’t you?
