More quotes by John Hurt
I think it's interesting to see how things come into and go out of fashion.
John Hurt
I've got plenty of train memories. I was sent to school when I was eight years old in 1948 in Kent. So I had to go through London in 1948, just after the war. Many ,many strange experiences.
John Hurt
Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.
John Hurt
I was keen on sports-that's how my nose got this way. It's not actually broken the nose was just pushed up a little bit and moved over. It's an aquiline nose, quite Irish.
John Hurt
The common misconception is that we create films for ourselves. And I really don't do it for myself. I get stopped in the street by people saying, Do you mind if I say this about your work? Do I mind? I'm delighted. I do it for you. It's not for me. It's my living, yes, sure.
John Hurt
We all have our limitations.
John Hurt
I find it difficult to say, like which child do you prefer the most, and its a sort of surface choice. I've never known how to quite answer that one adequately.
John Hurt
Elephant Man [movie] was much more difficult physically. This had a couple of days. It was quite tricky. I had my leg strapped up behind me and I am a little older now. It was all marvelous, though. He [Bong Joon-ho] is one of the most fabulous directors in the world.
John Hurt
You collect as much information as you can and then you put it into the mulberry of your mind and hope that you come up with a decent wine. Sometimes you do sometimes you don't.
John Hurt
If you put on an Oscar Wilde [play], it will interest those who are interested in Oscar Wilde. But it won't interest anybody else, because they won't get that wit.
John Hurt
I left drama school and went straight into a 10-week film for which I was paid £75 I might say, which for 1962 was one heck of a lot of money.
John Hurt
I think you can get better in mathematics on a school level, but when you're talking about being a mathematician, I think that's definitely a gift of genes or whatever.
John Hurt
My fathers a clergyman, and he was in the mission field for a certain amount of time in British Honduras, which is now Belize.
John Hurt
I find myself more interested in producing. Not because I'm interested in the financial side of it, but just getting together the right elements to make a film, that side of production. I would not be good on the financial side. It would be a disaster from the beginning.
John Hurt
I think it would be very difficult to play somebody if they didn't think they had any virtues or redeeming characteristics.
John Hurt
If I hadn't been a part of [Harry Potter] I would have been deeply upset.
John Hurt
If you do an interview in 1960, something it's bound to change by the year 2000. And if it doesn't, then there's something drastically wrong.
John Hurt
I'm very director oriented.
John Hurt
It's a great relief to feel that you're working with someone rather than for someone. You don't feel that you're being tested, as it were.
John Hurt
The first film is everything you want to say and how you want to say it. Lots of directors will do that and do it really well, but the second film is not so easy.
