“I'm really not interested in showing me or playing me. My gift as an a...” — David Suchet Quote

“I'm really not interested in showing me or playing me. My gift as an actor, given to me, is to be able to become other people.”

“When I was 18 and not sure whether I wanted to be an actor, I realised that a playwright has no voice without an actor. That's my reason for acting: to get that character as right as possible for my writer. And I have never changed my philosophy.”

“I don't really want people to see me. I'm not into stardom.”

“All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.”

“I knew that I wanted to be an actor; I just did not know when and where. I was open to experimenting.”

“I grew up loving actresses or actors who were very classy but who seemed a little bit mysterious because you couldn't grasp what they're really thinking. I mean, Grace Kelly always looked impossibly glamorous, yet you could always see there was something behind her eyes.”
