Looks like we don't have salary information. Sorry!



#	Quote
1	(On Peter O'Toole) "He was a great actor. His early years were the best I thought. He was great fun to be with. He will be missed badly."
2	(On replacing Richard Harris as Dumbledore) Richard was in heavy, heavy costume, he could hardly sit, you know, and I turned up and they put me in two layers of silk, so I played him much lighter - you know, floating around in a pair of slippers, a bit of a hippy.
3	I've always tried to be an actor who... I just plod on and try to keep my mouth shut, mind my own business. I find the whole thing about people's lives... I can't understand it. I'm always astonished that people want to know anything about me.
4	Paul Schofield said something like, 'If I'm not acting in a play, I don't really exist.' Those weren't the exact words, but he meant it's only when I'm acting in a play that I've got something to say about the world. And then why should I talk, when people can come to see it?
5	Television has dried up for my generation, so it's plays and films.
6	You get used to being lazy doing films, but classical theatre's going to finish me off.
7	There's no subtext in Harry Potter really; it's all magic, anything can happen. Why do I say this? Because it's a magic spell. It's quite nice in a way. There is a real freedom to it.
8	Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
9	I belong to quite a lot of learned societies. We collect firearms and discuss them at dinners and clubs and things.
10	There were no spells at my school, just a smack in the mouth.
11	A child did approach me in a restaurant in Cornwall, but he thought I was Gandalf.
12	I'm very flower-like. I love classical music. I go to ballet and I cry. There's nothing so beautiful.
13	I learn the lines that J.K. Rowling or whoever writes them, and say them.
14	I just hate the idea of being well known. I know that is almost impossible if you're an actor who has done okay, but I've always fought against it.
15	I promise myself that I would go and do a play every year.
16	Oh yeah, I'd love to be a comedian. I've done a lot, but always in the confines of plays.
17	Yeah, I like causing trouble. It's the teddy boy in me. I used to be a teddy boy. Feeling slightly inferior and wanting to cause a bit of bother and get some action going on in the room rather than get bored stiff.
18	I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
19	I'm an anorak. I've always been an obsessive collector of things. Richard Briers collects stamps. I collect cars and guns, which are much more expensive, and much more difficult to store.
20	I just play him as myself, I don't ease myself into any role really. I stick a beard on and play me.
21	I live in fear of being a contented passenger. I'd rather get parts I can't play.
22	Theater actors are just tolerated. You have to be a movie star to be a celebrity.
