Quotes edit
- I hear that the no-smoking crowd are now operating at the National. Surely that sort of mentality doesn't belong in a theatre, it isn't a place where you impose rules on people, it's a dirty radical place where an actor can work with a fag in his hand.
- Quoted in "The trickster," The Guardian (2 April 2004)
- Like a heartbeat. Something inside me. Some dream. I think it's being a dreamer as a child. Dreamy kids become actors, don't they?
- Quoted in Dominic Wills, "Michael Gambon Biography", tiscali.co.uk (undated)
