“You see people in Hollywood trying to make blockbuster after blockbust...” — Ian Mckellen Quote

“You see people in Hollywood trying to make blockbuster after blockbuster, but it's not possible. There's some god up there saying, 'You will fail now.' But I suppose that's true of us all.”

“I remember Tom Stoppard saying to me when I came out, 'I feel so sorry for you, because you'll never have children.' These days I would say, 'Well, why not, Tom?'”

“I'm an eccentric English actor, and there's a lot of us around.”

“I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn't take it seriously any longer.”

“I don't want to be Tom Cruise. I'm not after some movie blockbuster career. That's not the kind of work I'm interested in. And frankly, it's not the kind of work I'm ever going to get.”

“In 1993 after giving a blockbuster 'Aankhen,' I had no work. I was sitting at home for a year.”
