Bill Nighy
Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.
Bill Nighy

I quoted David Hare one of his lines the other day to illuminate whatever point we were trying to make in the conversation, and I said 'What play was that?' and he said 'It was your line, you said it about a hundred and fifty times in The Vertical Hour.'
Bill Nighy
