David Hemmings - biography

“Look at all the film buyers and sellers in Cannes any year and you’re basically looking at a lot of shoe salesmen working out whether or not it should be sneakers or lace-ups next year.”

“We have two girls today and they are both stark naked.  They’re embarrassed.  They shouldn’t be.  Everybody on the set has seen it a thousand times before.  Nobody gives a monkey’s uncle - unless you’ve got three tits.”

“I do it simply because someone has to.  It’s a thankless task more akin to hotel management.”

“I don’t mind autograph hunters when I go down to the fish and chip shop.  As long as I get my chips.”

“If it isn’t happening, make it happen.”
