Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.
- Richard Burton(on making The Devils (1971)) It was a difficult and tiring role. I don`t think anyone in their right mind would say that they had fun shooting that film. It wasn`t created with the intent of having fun or being pleasurable; on the contrary, it was analyzed acutely and made with extreme seriousness. It was definitely a film about a certain society and the things that society did. We tried to show that humans are diabolical or can be as diabolical as in the film. I didn`t have fun, it was four months of hard work and if anyone has the courage or the desire to sit his ass down on a firecracker and scream for four months with Ken Russell yelling in your ears, well . . .
- Oliver ReedIn this world of doubt, one thing is certain for me; that I will go on writing songs up to and - I hope, through heavenly means or diabolical - beyond the day I die.
- Robyn HitchcockIn every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which seems to conceal a diabolical cunning.
- A. AlvarezThe augmentation of slaves weakens the states; and such a trade is diabolical in itself, and disgraceful to mankind.
