I just wanted to share some of mine
Richard E Grant:
"When I see actors talking about world peace, it makes my sphincter weak. There is a difference between Emma Thompson talking about a world catastrophe and - God! - Demi Moore talking about it. Goldie Hawn talking about the elephants has a different impact than Joanna Lumley. Sometimes Hollywood doesn't seem a million miles from a Miss World contest. I just don't have strong enough mental furniture to withstand it."
Stephen Fry:
"The e-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail"
“If I had a large amount of money I should found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily”
" Old Professors never die, they merely lose their faculties."
"Personally, I would rather consume my own faeces than vote for George W. Bush."
Alan Rickman:
“My problem with Hamlet was how the hell do you do this thing physically, how do you breathe it? Not only is the play very long but you discover that this bastard Shakespeare has put three huge soliloquies one almost directly after another.”
"I'm a Piscean. In every area of my life complete opposites are at work all the time. I stagger myself sometimes. Who is this person? The 'you' who can't organize picking up the laundry - and you know that 'you' very well - watches the other one in a rehearsal situation and says, 'Who is this person who has all these ideas and all this invention?' There's a very, very instinctive person and a very, very practical person. It depends on what time of day it is, I think."
