Zitat des Tages von Rupert Everett:
I think belief is like having the first Microsoft Windows - it's so rudimentary, in the human brainwork, it's so obviously a sham.
I think we've been dulled by capitalism. We're just blobs now - we're so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car, the mortgage, the lease on the toaster and all that. You can't really think about much else. If you lose that, you lose the whole lot.
There are lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are the right people and they'll stand with them for quite a long time.
Starbucks is spreading like a cancer.
I went to boarding school at seven and cried and cried.
Listen, in England people are already writing their memoirs at the age of 23.
I think it's fun playing a part that lots of other people have played, in a way.
Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one, let me tell you.
I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.
I've been reduced to drag.
I'm miserable: that's why I have such a bad back, because I'm endlessly stressing out about my career.
To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something, that enables a person to jump into one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough.
I don't think many actors are that good, to be honest. I certainly don't think I am.
I've never been any good with authority.
I've done a lot of period stuff but that's mostly because, in England, we get off on a lot of period stuff, but it's not any kind of particular choice. That's where a lot of the work is.
It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.
I'm not a great poetry fan.
The thing about lying is, it is quite exhausting - you have to remember a lot.
I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.
I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.
We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.
You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.
If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster.
I don't accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don't like what it's become. I don't blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It's got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.
The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!
There's still a great deal of bias about homosexuality.
I don't want to be carried out of a club wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and a cap on the wrong way around when I am 70, but I would like to settle down a bit. Maybe with a partner.
Why are men talking about what clothes they're wearing? It's so unmanly, I think. It's like Versailles before the Revolution, without the style.
A lot of straight actors are actively searching for gay roles because it is something different to do.
As a kid I would be put to bed when my parents had guests and because I was such a show-off I would go to my mum's room, put on her nightdress and Jackie Onassis shawl, run downstairs, go outside, ring the doorbell and pretend to be one of the guests. I'd say, 'Hello, I'm Mrs. So-and-So.'
Being in Hollywood is like being in the Christian right these days.
I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.
I find there aren't that many options as an actor.
I'm a gay man who came from the last years of illegality. That focused my whole character. I think it focused everyone's character in a way. You saw yourself as outside of the main structure.
These awful middle-class queens - which is what the gay movement has become - are so tiresome. It's all Abercrombie & Fitch and strollers.
I was basically adventurous, I think I wanted to try everything.
