More quotes by Richard Eyre

Image
We can alleviate physical pain, but mental pain - grief, despair, depression, dementia - is less accessible to treatment. It's connected to who we are - our personality, our character, our soul, if you like.
Richard Eyre

I can't think of anyone I admire who isn't fuelled by self-doubt. It's an essential ingredient. It's the grit in the oyster.
Richard Eyre
Image
I am interested in the gap between what people say and what they think - the undiscovered world of people's lives. Lives of quiet desperation.
Richard Eyre
Image

Richard Eyre
