Christopher Plummer quotes about
thinking talking aging
I'm talking about when you're nearer the end of your life than the beginning. Now what do you think you think about then? The future? In the future I'm going to do this? Become that? What future? No. What you think is, 'How will I be regarded in the end?'
thinking views roles
How you prepare for a role is entirely your business in my point of view. There is little enough mystery anymore left in the world in the part of our profession, which should be clouded in mystery because it isn't in the public. You don't want the magician to show his tricks or how he did them do you? So I do think that is a very private thing that we actors should protect ourselves from.
beautiful thinking surround-yourself
Unless you can surround yourself with as many beautiful things as you can afford, I don`t think life has very much meaning.
use computer quills
I'm too old-fashioned to use a computer. I'm too old-fashioned to use a quill.
poetic-license people poetic
Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.
these-days knows
I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.
interesting devil
The devil is more interesting than God.
evil smoking insulting
Here is Mike Wallace, who is visible to the public, and I have been watching him since the early '50s. Smoking up a storm and insulting his guests and being absolutely wonderfully evil and charming too.
years challenges technique
Not the challenges necessarily, but the way in which you get ready because your technique has improved over the years and you perhaps know how to be more economical than perhaps you used to be when you tried to work perhaps too hard.
kings knowing roles
Theater roles are written by the great masters. The greatest literature that you can possibly know are the theater roles like King Lear, Hamlet, and all of those great roles. So all you do is you dive into these unchallenged roles and see how far you can get, what kind of accolades you can get, and how good you can be in them. In movie roles, you can actually improve them by knowing a lot about your own stage technique, which helps a great deal in the cinema and how you can project inner humor even though the particular dialogue is not necessarily funny, but you can infuse it with humor.
inspirational motivational design
A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time, never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature.
mirrors looks were-meant-to-be
Sometimes you have to look into a mirror and look at the worst you could have been if you're ever going to know the best you were meant to be.
cities becoming-one survivor
I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I'm one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.
art luck suffering
I've been very fortunateit's just been an amazing piece of luck. I haven't had to suffer for my art but I've suffered enough inside to hopefully be called an artist.
