“I always think I look like the Elephant Man - I can't get used to my o...” — Brian Cox Quote

“I always think I look like the Elephant Man - I can't get used to my own image.”

“As a boy, I was never interested in theater because I came from a working-class Scottish home. I thought, 'I want to do movies.' Then it was finding the means to do it.”

“I used to do a lot of fencing in the theater and a lot of horse riding in the early days, so I'm used to it in a way. If you're classically trained like I am, it's a little bit like mother's milk to me. I enjoy it.”

“The reason I know about 'Tomb Raider' is from when I was researching 'Elephant.' It was 1999, and I was trying to research the Columbine-massacre kids, and they had played video games, and I, at the time, had never really seen one. It was a world I didn't know.”

“I developed a script that told the real story of The Elephant Man but also told the story of my journey into the world of freak shows.”

“The night before 'The Elephant Man' opened, we had a sleepover for 12 kids. Being organized is the key.”
