I like a lot of international people. Julie Taymore, the American director - she's one of the most exciting directors I've seen.
- British
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That is the nature of the British psyche. It's very blunt, plain, very linear. It's pragmatic: it records life as it is.
- Praise

A lot of praise is given to very mediocre work. Critics have lost their taste, hearing, and eyesight.

- New
- |

Facebook and Twitter are like a horrible digital plague.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Anti-Semitism has never gone away; it will always be there because it's a very convenient prejudice. The gene of it, the original DNA, is buried deep within our history. And even within some Jews as well.
- Dishonesty

- Nov 07, 2020
When I ascended from the depths of the working class to the middle class, the higher I got, the more dishonesty I found.

British culture loves the image of itself in the mirror; it doesn't want to look deep inside, behind the eyes, inside the brain, inside where those shivers and nightmares lie.
- Bad Guys
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've played a lot of bad guys in my time, especially in movies. It's delightful playing the villain. It's almost the most interesting and most complicated role in a film.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I may be 80, but I intend to keep acting until the day I die. Instead of slowing down, I've discovered my second wind.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You are treated like a cog in a machine. The director might be obsessing so much with the stunts that he doesn't notice your performance, and the producer may just be an insane money man, but I have no snobbery about the movies.
- Language
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like watching films that have very impelling content, great persuasive language.
- Human
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most American films have now become mindless. The human element has been removed, so you are just left with the surrogate human, which is the robot, so coincidentally or, rather, ironically, they are making films about robots, without realising they are talking about themselves.

- Never

- Nov 07, 2020
When I wrote 'East,' I wanted a completely earthy, very sexy, very violent play, so I wrote in verse. I found it not only satisfying but releasing. It gave me an opportunity to play with language. We never played the characters like the yobs that they are, but rather in a slightly heightened way.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a daughter from a relationship I had in my late teens or early 20s. Because I felt it wasn't the kind of pukka behaviour my family or relatives would admit to, I denied it for many years.
- Father

- Nov 07, 2020
After watching my poor mother being sometimes neglected by my father, it was almost tattooed on my brain that I would never cause hardship or despair to a partner.

If you want to be an actor, you must have total, ruthless commitment to your art. Don't be ambitious for fame or TV or movies. Art is a jealous mistress and will brook no competitors. Study all the time. Never stop reading. Never stop learning speeches. It will fill you up - define and refine you.
- Different Parts
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's impossible to have a favourite Shakespeare, since so many of the plays rouse and inspire completely different parts of your being.
- Influence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Los Angeles is a weird mixture of every influence that Europe has dropped in its melting pot. It is hot, arid, picturesque, seething, banal, sometimes plain pleasant, and sometimes awesome.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I liked Stanley Kubrick from the start. He had a warm, benign nature and offered himself to you as a friend and ally. He seemed to possess no airs or attitudes, neuroses, or predilection towards tantrums.
- Mask
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find it very satisfying to write because you can purge many things and vent what you feel under the mask of fiction.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
With the feminist movement - a good movement which I support - there's been more overt criticism of the male, an attitude that men are failing to understand the finer nature of women, failing to appreciate their needs, failing to support them, failing to be compassionate.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a lot of talk about people being abused on Twitter, women being savagely insulted and degraded. I think, 'Why get into that in the first place?' If I jump into a garbage bin, I can't complain that I've got rubbish all over me.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
If you put out garbage, you turn people into garbage.

- Church
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The theatre is your pulpit - it is your church - and you want to be a priest in your church, and that's what I believe in.
- Name
