There are some actors who are rehearsal actors, and some who are not. I am not. Having said that, I don't know what I am talking about.
Michael Gambon
Image
I just hate the idea of being well known. I know that is almost impossible if you're an actor who has done okay, but I've always fought against it.

Image
I belong to quite a lot of learned societies. We collect firearms and discuss them at dinners and clubs and things.
Michael Gambon
Image
I'm very flower-like. I love classical music. I go to ballet and I cry. There's nothing so beautiful.

For an actor to remain a child is rather important. It's a childlike, dreamy thing, acting, if you think about it. It's the sort of thing children fantasise about, playing cowboys and Indians in the street. I think that acting is just a highly refined development of that.

Like a heartbeat. Something inside me. Some dream. I think it's being a dreamer as a child. Dreamy kids become actors, don't they?

I live in fear of being a contented passenger. I'd rather get parts I can't play.

Image
You get used to being lazy doing films, but classical theatre's going to finish me off.

I promise myself that I would go and do a play every year.

There's no subtext in Harry Potter really it's all magic, anything can happen. Why do I say this? Because it's a magic spell. It's quite nice in a way. There is a real freedom to it.
Michael Gambon
Image
I used to be gay, but I was forced to give it up, because it made my eyes water.
Michael Gambon
Image
Yeah, I like causing trouble. It's the teddy boy in me. I used to be a teddy boy. Feeling slightly inferior and wanting to cause a bit of bother and get some action going on in the room rather than get bored stiff.

I'm an anorak. I've always been an obsessive collector of things. Richard Briers collects stamps. I collect cars and guns, which are much more expensive, and much more difficult to store.
Michael Gambon
Image
I learn the lines that JK Rowling or whoever writes them, and say them.
Michael Gambon
Image
I've always tried to be an actor who... I just plod on and try to keep my mouth shut, mind my own business. I find the whole thing about people's lives... I can't understand it. I'm always astonished that people want to know anything about me.
