“I love getting up in the morning with nothing else to do except write.” — Ron Moody Quote

I love getting up in the morning with nothing else to do except write.

Fate destined me to play 'Fagin.' It was the part of a lifetime.

My portrayal of Fagin was all to do with my experience in comedy and revue.

I'll never forget seeing 'Guys and Dolls' over and over. I used to sit up in the coliseum watching this magnificent musical. Brilliant.

I don't think a professional agent or theatre manager would say my career had gone as well as perhaps it should have after that first 'Oliver!' success, but then again I was never really intending to have a career in the professional theatre in the first place.

I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.

Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.

Who, except the gods, can live time through forever without any pain?

Show business is just like high school, except you get paid.

I didn't read much of anything till I was 15, except Alistair MacLean and Michael Moorcock - the sword and sorcery novels - when I was about 13 or 14.
