More quotes by David Suchet
I can't try to convert anybody. It's not in me to do that. But my faith has given me such an appreciation of people and meaningful relationships, and a world view which I didn't have before. And although I will fail every day, it gives me something to aspire to.
David Suchet
There are clues in the script... he will say I think drugs are immoral'... but the guy who says that kills, tortures, pimps and has whores working for him. There is this strange morality going on, which is rather like the Mafia.
David Suchet
What we're doing is saying what happens with the establishment and how are we as ordinary human beings are used as pawns. What do we really know about what goes on! We think we are a democracy.... Are we? I'm not so sure.
David Suchet
I'm really into my photography and am trying to catch up with digital generation - I was used to the old 35mm cameras.
David Suchet
I was a typical teen growing up in the 1960s, when everybody was into gurus and meditation.
David Suchet
I'm never bored, never ever bored. If I've got a day off I'll sit in a cafe and watch and observe. I'm a great observer.
David Suchet
I love music, especially classical like Verdi it's a great way to relax.
David Suchet
It's an honour to have such a wonderful international cast on board for this world famous murder mystery. Writer Stewart Harcourt has created an exquisite script. His attention to detail is impeccable.
David Suchet
The great exception to that, of course, is Johnny Depp, who is absolutely the ultimate character actor. Johnny Depp is the future of the character actor and thanks to his success maybe we will see the return of an era when my sort of actor is back in vogue. It's not in vogue for me to be in Hollywood movies as lots of different people.
David Suchet
As I say, there's something that scares the hell out of me but it really makes me work hard in losing myself. I'm not really interested in me as an actor or being a personality player, or a Hollywood star. What's given to me is to become different people and to find the truth of that. That is really what I do.
David Suchet
I'm really not interested in showing me or playing me. My gift as an actor, given to me, is to be able to become other people.
David Suchet
A successful swindler has to be a great salesman even more than a great actor.
David Suchet
My fun as an actor and my task as an actor is to transform myself to become other people. I enjoy becoming characters but I don't enjoy becoming caricatures. The research I do is only necessary in so far as we move into other dimensions.
David Suchet
In The Godfather, for instance, they say they won't deal drugs because they have a code of behaviour. He is the last remnants of that. So playing someone like that, who is also in pain with his kidney stone, means you're beginning to find a dimension of the guy who is king and all show and the private guy who is in pain.
David Suchet
When I was 18 and not sure whether I wanted to be an actor, I realised that a playwright has no voice without an actor. That's my reason for acting: to get that character as right as possible for my writer. And I have never changed my philosophy.
David Suchet
I think I've grown up in an era where character acting on film has become less desirable for the producers and directors and therefore the audience. They have got used to the people that those actors really are.
David Suchet
I don't really want people to see me. I'm not into stardom.
David Suchet
I became fascinated by the fact that people write to give away rather than write to be read. It's the difference between playwrights and novelists.
David Suchet
Although I'm a very emotional man, I just can't have blind faith, I have to find out for myself.
