More quotes by John Hurt
Nudes are the greatest to paint. Everything you can find in a landscape or a still life or anything else is there: darkness and light, character dimension, texture. I painted heads too, of course.
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
People are not what they seem to be according to their looks.
John Hurt
We all have our limitations.
John Hurt
I got used to [ Lars Von Trier] doing the narration for 'Dogville' and 'Manderley.' And I said to him I do these narrations for you but you never put me in a film! So he called my bluff and put me in 'Melancholia' and I was thrilled about that.
John Hurt
In anything really, it's finding the reality. You can't be 'real,' but you can create a reality. And that created reality is what the audience believes in. And that's essential. Because if the audience doesn't believe that, they're never going to trust you. And if they don't trust you, you can't lead them up the mountain.
John Hurt
I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films.
John Hurt
When you're really working well with a director then you can be as outrageous as you like and so can he. And there's no worry about it.
John Hurt
I've done lots of films with first directors, so it's not unusual for me.
John Hurt
We shot ['Sailcloth'] five days down in Cornwall, and you couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place. It was a couple of tough days at sea, but when I say tough it was still enjoyable.
John Hurt
Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.
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
The truth is rarely true and never simple.
John Hurt
The British tradition, basically, is to go to the character. And the Hollywood tradition, shall we say, is basically to take the character to the performer.
John Hurt
We're all far too afraid of being so arrogant to say Either you can or you can't.
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
Lotte Lenya was all emotion. She wasn't anything but emotion. She was not an intellectual.
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
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.
John Hurt
I don't like no confusion.
John Hurt
