I find it hard to imagine that anyone could be intimidated by me.
From John Hurt
Acting is an imaginative exercise. It would be odd if you didn't try to identify with the roles you play, but I think I can differentiate between where my imagination is leading me and where I actually am.
I see myself as an interpretative actor rather than a creative one.
Everyone I've ever played has been flawed.
Human beings are very good at adapting to what happens.
I've lived publicly and never hidden behind closed doors. Therefore, if I have gone over the top sometimes, it has been visible.
I'm horribly self-critical.
I didn't want to teach. I wanted to act. It was quite a long and difficult road to get there but very thrilling when I did.
I have done quite a lot of outsider figures.
I gave up religious thinking a long time ago and am really just an agnostic now.
