More quotes by Mark Gatiss
It's a cliche, but it's true that all the fun lies in baddies, grotesques and comic roles.
Mark Gatiss
Some facts in life are immutable. One is, trust no-one who uses the word 'trope'.
Mark Gatiss
Europe is so much the home of Horror, with its myths of vampires, werewolves, witchcraft and the undead, yet it's like those myths were exported to Hollywood, leaving Europe the room to develop a new tradition as a way of processing its traumas, particularly the two world wars.
Mark Gatiss
I love the Shakespeare history plays, I love the struggle for the crown as a plot.
Mark Gatiss
When I was your age — about, ooh, a thousand years ago — I loved a good bedtime story. The Three Little Sontarans. The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes. Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday, eh? All the classics.
Mark Gatiss
I had a girlfriend before I ever had a boyfriend, but it was just a phase.
Mark Gatiss
They are called 'Emos' now, and before that they were 'Goths.' They didn't have a name for it when I was one, but I was that black-wearing teenager and yes, I wore a little eyeliner.
Mark Gatiss
All pleasure should be a little bent, don't you think?
Mark Gatiss
It was all quite ghastly and I was very fond of it.
Mark Gatiss
I'm terribly nostalgic, but I'm with the Elizabethans who thought nostalgia was a disease. It's a dangerous place to be because you can get caught up in it.
Mark Gatiss
I always compare reading anything on the Internet to listening at doors. If you don't want to hear anything bad about yourself, you should never do it.
Mark Gatiss
We made our Moriarty very different to [Conan] Doyle's. He's Irish, and he brings all his charm, his twinkle and his humor to it while he's also terrifying.
Mark Gatiss
When I was seven or eight, I was bought a fantastic book called 'The Movie Treasury of Horror Movies' by Alan G. Frank it became my bible. It's packed full of the most amazing photos and is still fantastic to look at.
Mark Gatiss
I love going to galleries, particularly the National Portrait Gallery.
Mark Gatiss
The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can't pretend I know. I just know I don't like it.
Mark Gatiss
The first film I can remember seeing on TV was 'The Brides of Dracula.' I was instantly hooked.
Mark Gatiss
I grew up with low self-esteem. I didn't think I was very pretty. I had glasses, red hair and was generally quite a spod.
Mark Gatiss
I'm a great believer in the beauty and the power of surprise.
Mark Gatiss
Even when I was a child, I always wanted to be older. I realised just in time that it's a mistake and to enjoy my youth while I had it.
Mark Gatiss
All films speak to their times. It becomes obvious only after.
