John Hurt quotes

	" Also the wonderful thing about film, you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You did realise that it is going to come to an end at some stage. "		John Hurt

	" As Beckett said, it's not enough to die, one has to be forgotten as well. "		John Hurt

	" As far as movies go, my master is Fred Zinnemann. "		John Hurt

	" Being a painter is a lonely, desolate life, but I learned by observing people, observing conditions around me, the way things worked. And I've found that painting-which I still do-has helped me a great deal as an actor. There's a surprising amount in common. "		John Hurt

	" I am not an enormous believer in research being the be-all and end-all. I get suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick. "		John Hurt

	" I first decided that I wanted to act when I was 9. And I was at a very bizarre prep school at the time, to say high Anglo-Catholic would be a real English understatement. "		John Hurt

	" I have lots of favourite memories but I can't say that I have a favourite film. "		John Hurt

	" I left drama school and went straight into a 10-week film for which I was paid $75 I might say, which for 1962 was one heck of a lot of money. "		John Hurt

	" I loathed school. I don't have an academic mind, and besides I was so bored by my teachers! How teachers can take a child's inventiveness and say yes, yes, in that pontifical way of theirs, and smother everything! "		John Hurt

	" I mark a script like an exam, and I try not to do anything under 50 per cent. Similarly with the part. And also film is a peculiar thing, parts don't necessarily read in script form anything like as well as they can do when it comes to materialising. "		John Hurt

	" I never had any ambition to be a star, or whatever it is called, and I'm still embarrassed at the word. "		John Hurt

	" I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. "		John Hurt

	" I put everything I can into the mulberry of my mind and hope that it is going to ferment and make a decent wine. How that process happens, I'm sorry to tell you I can't describe. "		John Hurt

	" I remember once when I told Lindsay Anderson at a party that acting was just a sophisticated way of playing cowboys and Indians he almost had a fit. "		John Hurt

	" I think it would be very difficult to play somebody if they didn't think they had any virtues or redeeming characteristics. "		John Hurt
