Richard E. Grant Quotes
“Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting.  Do it all the time and eventually it will happen.  He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted.  A cannibal!”

“I am drawn to writing and directing as it is most like the feeling I had when I was a teenager with my puppet theatre.  You are more in control of everything and involved in every aspect of production, so more challenged and fulfilled.”

“Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.”

“My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama.”

“Never give up.  You only get one life.  Go for it!”

“Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget.  That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.”

“Ensure that your script is watertight.  If it’s not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen.”

“Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.”
