“The clergy is in the same business as actors, just a different departm...” — John Hurt Quote

“The clergy is in the same business as actors, just a different department.”

“I'm somewhat old-fashioned, and I still talk about playing a part. I don't talk about my work - 'I've seen some of your work' - there's not much work in it, is there?”

“I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films.”

“See, all actors pretend. I enjoy that pretence. I don't wear heels in real life, but if it is for a character, I love to get into the traits of the person I am playing.”

“As an actor, I enjoy variety. That's a big thing for me. So, if I'm going to put my name to something and commit to something that's going to take up a lot of my time, it has to be something that I know is going to be enjoyable and worth my while. Otherwise, what's the point?”

“I think that anybody who says 'This is the one way to go about being an actor' has probably not done a lot of professional work before.”
