More quotes by Antony Sher
I love the mixture that's in me. It makes me me. And that's why it's such a shame that people waste energy in denying who they are.
Antony Sher
When I'm painting and drawing I only do people. Acting is obviously portraiture - and writing is as well.
Antony Sher
I'm a complete technophobe. I can't even email.
Antony Sher
I have a Woody Allen Jewish attitude to life: that it's all going to be disastrous. That it hasn't all been that way is simply down to some random quirk of fate.
Antony Sher
Most of my career has been spent with the RSC doing Shakespeare, and the thing you learn from Shakespeare is that his historical plays don't bear anything other than a basic resemblance to history.
Antony Sher
I was a weak kid, not good at what all the boys at school were good at and I found that by acting, by being other people, I could liberate myself from those inadequacies.
Antony Sher
I feel so sorry for younger actors who aren't able to have the opportunities that I had, starting out in repertory theatre. It's really tough on young actors now.
Antony Sher
Reading Shakespeare is sometimes like looking through a window into a dark room. You don't see in. You see nothing but a reflection of yourself unable to see in. An unflattering image of yourself blind.
Antony Sher
The effort of learning. It's the same when you approach any new skill or technique, from a dance step to driving a car. The effort of learning stops you, at first, from doing it well.
Antony Sher
A lot of good actors tend to be quite introverted as people.
Antony Sher
If I could write a letter to my teenage self I'd probably say something like: You ain't gonna believe what will become of you.
Antony Sher
As a gay Jewish white South African, I belong to quite a lot of minority groups. You constantly have to question who you are, what you are and whether you have the courage to be who you are.
Antony Sher
The whole of my acting career is a bit of a mystery to me.
Antony Sher
Why is an actor's unintentional giggling called a 'corpse'? It seems to me quite the opposite. It proves that he's very much alive, and can still tell how silly this all is: him dressed up as someone else speaking words written by a third party.
Antony Sher
I believe deeply in therapy. There's no one in the world who wouldn't benefit from it.
Antony Sher
We've all got darkness inside us. And I've got quite a lot of darkness.
Antony Sher
It's good for actors to confront those things we have to act: panic, pain and death.
Antony Sher
Life is just more comfortable if you're honest and open about everything. I spent so many years being in the closet about one thing or another.
Antony Sher
