Zitat des Tages von Tim Roth:
I don't care to analyze acting. On the other hand there is a fascination because distributors are putting out British films. You get films here with great performances you'll never see again. Why compare. We should go after the businessmen.
Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.
Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary.
Everyone is an abused child, if you think about what governments do.
Doing comedy for film is always a challenge because you are in the hands of the editor after the fact. I am hoping I can do some more soon, I enjoy doing comedy.
A character I would love to play is Iago, from Othello.
If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in.
Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.
I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.
I'm a workaholic.
You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.
I'd seen musicians act, and it scares me. And they make more money than me.
I can't do anything else. So if this falls through, I'm screwed.
I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman.
How would you compare Polanski or Kubrick? I try not to do any comparisons.
I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
I'm sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I'm bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor - a real person.
Bring back dueling, I say. Drive-by sword fight.
When you know youre whoring it hurts. I have kids. I'm not going to run down an actor for doing this.
There just seems to be more acceptance now of... other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones.
