(On his screenwriting) "I always write from an actor`s perspective, which is writing dialogue that fits comfortably into one`s mouth, as opposed to dialogue that is strained and defective."

- Tim Robbins

I enjoy changing personalities. Yeah, honestly I feel I`ve got to be very... chameleon-like just to preserve my own identity... I don`t feel threatened by (the) possible eventuality (of losing touch with myself). I don`t want to have just one front. I feel like I need at least two just to carry on doing what I`m doing comfortably. It`s acting, sure it is... that`s what it obviously comes down to. It just gives me the facility to do practically anything I want, see, and even then the most drastic changes of personlity don`t really affect me `cause I never feel the need to do them that often. It`s all part of being a rock & roll star, after all.

- Mick Jagger

This wasn`t just a sitcom. It was like watching a five-act Ibsen (Henrik Ibsen) play. Corbett was making us laugh, but we were laughing at his pain and the hopelessness of his situation. Then there were the story lines ... politics, class, religion, sex. This wasn`t what an early-1960s comedy was supposed to deal with. Everybody knows his Steptoe ("Steptoe and Son" (1962)) voice, but that was nothing like his real voice. He was actually raised in Wythenshawe. He had that peculiar northern thing of trying to make his accent posher than it was. A bit like Harold, really. So much of his real life mirrored Steptoe and I think Galton (Ray Galton) and Simpson (Alan Simpson) picked up on that. Unfortunately, typecasting was far more prevalent in those days. Harry H. Corbett was, without doubt, the finest actor in the country, but the more successful he was as Steptoe, the less work he was offered. He wanted to walk away, but he couldn`t. He was very comfortably trapped. I`ve got mates who are in exactly the same situation. Starring in hugely successful shows, earning loads of money - but they can`t stand their jobs. The country loved Harold Steptoe, but Corbett hated him. Really hated him. (On playing Harry H. Corbett in The Curse of Steptoe (2008) (TV))

Growing up in general is difficult for everyone. Ordinarily during the stage of your life when you`re going through your adolescence and you`re completely awkward and uncomfortable, the rest of the world isn`t watching you with bated breath. It`s different when you`re an actor and you choose to work your way through that period because it only makes it worse. Taking 5 years off was the best decision I`ve made so far, for myself and for my career. People always say, But you could`ve been so famous by now if you would`ve just worked during those 5 years!" I`m not in it for the fame and it`s definitely not worth it to me to have the fame but no sense of who I am whatsoever. I didn`t want to become so many of the young people I`ve worked with who have money, fame, and success but don`t know who they are as people. At the end of the day, just because one of your films does well at the box office that doesn`t make you a good person. It doesn`t make you strong, smart, or secure either. I`d rather have those three things and know that if I decided to quit this job tomorrow that I could make it comfortably through the rest of my life because I know myself very well, then have fame and a bunch of money that`s never going to buy me a manual to ME." - On why she quit acting for 5 years.
