“It always depresses me when people moan about how commercial Christmas...” — Richard E. Grant Quote

“It always depresses me when people moan about how commercial Christmas is. I love everything about it. The tradition of having this great big feast, slap bang in the middle of winter, is an essential thing to look forward to at the end of the year.”

“I would love to play your common, everyday guy, but I never get cast as that.”

“I wrestle every opportunity with gusto.”

“I really like the European carols, and I like that captivating sound that they have that isn't usually in Christmas songs.”

“Miramax seems to be showing the same faith in Roberto Benigni's 'Pinocchio' that the Republican Party showed in Trent Lott; the live-action version of Carlo Collodi's fairy tale about the wooden puppet whose only ambition was to be a real live boy was sneaked into theaters Christmas Day.”

“During the first 13 centuries after the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, no one thought of setting up a creche to celebrate Christmas. The pre-eminent Christian holiday was Easter, not Christmas.”
