Zitat des Tages von Tim Curry:
I think artists are driven by the engine of their own talent, but it's a question of what use they put it to.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't just play dreadful old villains.
I remember candy rationing until I was, like, 7.
When I did 'Amadeus,' I hadn't done a play for five years. And I was so happy doing it and felt so foolish that I hadn't done a play for such a long time that I wanted to go back and really kind of reach out for a classical career.
One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned.
Don't dream it, be it.
My interests and obsessions have always been so wide-ranging that I keep popping my head out of different boxes as much as possible.
I find there is something very intimate about being the voice in someone's ear when they're driving.
But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?
I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.
My career has evolved at its own peculiar pace. American careers are supposed to have a much more singular direction than I've been able to... stomach.
I moved to L.A., because that's where they point cameras at you. And that's what I'd like them to do.
Musicals are famous for being in a constant state of flux.
I'm good at my own company.
I've worked in a few sort of 'institutional' theaters - the Royal Shakespeare, the National Theater in England - and they're hopelessly top-heavy with bureaucracy.
I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author's view, and I think that's terribly dangerous.
I love to sing.
In most careers, you find something you do well, and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package.
Mozart was very much an arrested adolescent.
You can't stay away from the theater too long.
I'm not a conventional leading man at all and have no wish to be.
