More quotes by Brian Blessed
I met Picasso when I was a kid. I turned one of his drawings down which would be worth £37 million now. My dad wouldn't talk to me for a fortnight.
Brian Blessed
I'll never retire. The new millennium is the age of adventure as far as I am concerned. I'm going up a volcano and off into space.
Brian Blessed
I wasn't good at examinations, but I went to a very good secondary school - Bolton-on-Dearne - with wonderful teachers, who taught me drama and encouraged me in every way.
Brian Blessed
People talk about the difference between radio acting, TV acting and stage acting, but I think it's all the same. For instance, when I played Vultan in 'Flash Gordon,' I put as much energy into it as I would with 'King Lear' - it's all part of the same thing.
Brian Blessed
I have marvelous dreams! I meet Buddha, I meet Jesus, I meet Mohammed. I constantly dream of space, stars and planets: we are the children of stardust.
Brian Blessed
I threw [Picasso's] drawing on the floor and in doing so, threw away about £50m.
Brian Blessed
I love Scotland - I was made an honorary Wallace after my work on 'Braveheart,' you know. If I have two or three days off, I love nothing more than driving up there and climbing around Glencoe.
Brian Blessed
The household I grew up in... was rather like an Ovaltine advert. There was a huge fire, a kettle on the fire, the oven with the bread being baked every day, and there was the radio it was very magical to hear all these wonderful programmes.
Brian Blessed
I've become quite a serious explorer: I've been to Everest three times I'm the oldest man to reach the North Pole and I've just been to the lost world of Venezuela.
Brian Blessed
The greatest danger in life is not taking chances. There are so many negative people wanting to grind you down, but you can't let them. If people say you are mad, you know you're on the right track.
Brian Blessed
Wishing kindness and compassion to all living creatures.
Brian Blessed
I can't retire from life. I love life too much and I cannot wait to start the day.
Brian Blessed
We had a food store at the theatre and I used to pinch food. I pinched some trousers and shirts to keep me going but they would wear out. I was virtually on the breadline.
Brian Blessed
The misapprehension about me is that I am some loud, rampant maniac. I am actually very pensive and quiet.
Brian Blessed
My biggest love is space. I completed 800 hours' space training in Moscow and I became the world's oldest man to go to the North Magnetic Pole. At 67, I also became the oldest man to reach 28,400ft on Everest without oxygen.
Brian Blessed
In the Arctic I met some Russian sailors on a submarine and they chorused, Gordon's alive!
Brian Blessed
Life is a re-discovery.
Brian Blessed
When I was a child, I wanted to... go into space! To go to Mars. I wanted to explore and explore and explore. I wanted to go to the Lost World in South America - I was heartbroken to discover there were no dinosaurs I still don't accept it.
Brian Blessed
My parents taught me honesty, truth, compassion, kindness and how to care for people. Also, they encouraged me to take risks, to boldly go. They taught me that the greatest danger in life is not taking the adventure.
Brian Blessed
My brother Alan - who was seven years younger than me - died from leukemia when he was 52. He never knew a day's good health - I wish I could have given him some of my good health. But he was always so cheerful and sweet.
