“In all my years as an actor, I had never been me - I had always hidden...” — Jon Pertwee Quote

“In all my years as an actor, I had never been me - I had always hidden behind my glasses, mustaches and funny voices.”

“Somehow I seem to have been gently bypassed as a serious actor.”

“When I was playing, wearing glasses was second nature to me. It was an accepted part of life.”

“I get to see life through rose-colored glasses a lot of the time.”

“I come from a place where there's violence and inarticulacy. I worked in a pub from the age of 12 or 13. I used to see people smashing glasses over each other. I was never tough. I was scared of them.”
