On the other hand, you get other films that are spread over a much longer period of time and it's entirely exhausting. But there's always light at the end of the tunnel with a film.

More quotes by 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
Very broadly speaking, you can put directors into two areas: One for whom you work, and the other with whom you work. And I prefer the latter, for obvious reasons.
John Hurt
I never had any ambition to be a star, or whatever it is called, and I'm still embarrassed at the word.
John Hurt
Once you've started to dig a hole, you can't get out of it.
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
People are not what they seem to be according to their looks.
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
I put everything I can into the mulberry of my mind and hope that it is going to ferment and make a decent wine. How that process happens, I'm sorry to tell you I can't describe.
John Hurt
I think it's interesting to see how things come into and go out of fashion.
John Hurt
I am not an enormous believer in research being the be-all and end-all. I get suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick.
John Hurt
If it's a low-brow bawdy comedy, it's got to stand the chance of succeeding as such. If it's an intellectual piece, a drama, and so forth. And of course, once you've determined the level of the piece, do it the best you know how. And then don't make concessions. To audiences, or to pursestrings, or whatever.
John Hurt
We all have our limitations.
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
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
I think particularly Daniel [Radcliffe], he knows what he's doing. I'm sure he'll finish up a producer. He really realized what it was, knew the size of it. And it was gigantic, the biggest franchise [Harry Potter] in history.
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 love working with Lars [von Trier]! I've worked with him three times. I did the narration of Dogville and Manderlay.
John Hurt
I first decided that I wanted to act when I was 9. And I was at a very bizarre prep school at the time, to say high Anglo-Catholic would be a real English understatement.
John Hurt
As Beckett said, it's not enough to die, one has to be forgotten as well.
John Hurt
I've spent a great deal of my life doing independent film, and that is partly because the subject matter interests me and partly because that is the basis of the film industry. That's where the film-makers come from, it's where they start and sometimes its where they should have stayed.
John Hurt
