Zitat des Tages von Richard E. Grant:
Unless you are an enormous name, you never stop auditioning.
Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it!
Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.
My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama.
Ensure that your script is watertight. If it's not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen.
When I came to England, the first director I met was Charles Sturridge, who told me, 'You speak like somebody out of the 1950s.'
Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.
When I meet a couple, I'm always interested to know if they have been together for a long time, or how loyal they are, because I know that will impact on how much I'm prepared to trust them.

Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.
I like fixing things.
I am a very judgmental person. Of myself and other people. I recognise it's a great fault, but I have no power over that.
It always depresses me when people moan about how commercial Christmas is. I love everything about it. The tradition of having this great big feast, slap bang in the middle of winter, is an essential thing to look forward to at the end of the year.
