Zitat des Tages von Penelope Wilton:
I find talking about acting very boring, having to come out with platitudes about how terribly nice everyone is. I would much rather just do it.
Acting attracts shy people and show-offs.
The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.
I am drawn to characters that go on journeys, characters that are real people, that have life.
People in distress behave in a stressful way. They aren't all sweetness and light. They don't behave well when they are unhappy. That's just what I've observed.
I don't really care any longer what other people think.
I can't understand why people so readily put themselves up to be humiliated.
I've had very close relationships with some twentieth-century writers.
I don't think I've been in a supporting role in any of the plays I've done, ever.
