teaching life-is cricket
The only thing I've ever been interested in teaching anyone in life is cricket.
dear
My dear sir, it haunted me for the rest of my life.
fun years class
I loved doing My Favorite Year, which was great fun, and The Ruling Class, which I made with all my chums.
optimistic thinking actors
Actors have to stay optimistic. The moment we start thinking otherwise, we're dead.
morning queens sunset
I woke up one morning to find I was famous. I bought a white Rolls-Royce and drove down Sunset Boulevard, wearing dark specs and a white suit, waving like the Queen Mum.
good-life long actors
Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.
memories share prepared
I have no memories I'm prepared to share with you.
stars actors movie-star
I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!!!
kings men feet
Do you not know that King Kong the first was just three foot six inches tall? He only came up to Faye Wray's belly button! If God could do the tricks that we can do he'd be a happy man!
drug booze outrageous
Booze is the most outrageous of drugs which is why I chose it.
hard-work thinking voice
We all had such larks. Yes, it was hard work but the friendships and the genuine respect we had for one another, that side I shall miss greatly. I've stopped acting, but I don't think I've finished using my voice. I could, and probably will, record the whole of Shakespeare's sonnets. They live at the side of my bed and are my constant companions.
flattery
What I like is bottomless flattery.
forever cement
Marriage is forever. It's like cement.
lines relief tape
It's such a relief for me to sit in front of a tape recorder and not be using it to learn my lines,
