More quotes by Rupert Everett
There are lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are the right people and they'll stand with them for quite a long time.
Rupert Everett
A lot of straight actors are actively searching for gay roles because it is something different to do.
Rupert Everett
I don't think kids should have role models. They're disastrous.
Rupert Everett
These awful middle-class queens - which is what the gay movement has become - are so tiresome. It's all Abercrombie & Fitch and strollers.
Rupert Everett
As a kid I would be put to bed when my parents had guests and because I was such a show-off I would go to my mum's room, put on her nightdress and Jackie Onassis shawl, run downstairs, go outside, ring the doorbell and pretend to be one of the guests. I'd say, 'Hello, I'm Mrs. So-and-So.
Rupert Everett
Listen, in England people are already writing their memoirs at the age of 23.
Rupert Everett
I'm a gay man who came from the last years of illegality. That focused my whole character. I think it focused everyone's character in a way. You saw yourself as outside of the main structure.
Rupert Everett

Rupert Everett
Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one, let me tell you.
Rupert Everett
Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing!
Rupert Everett
To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something, that enables a person to jump into one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough.
Rupert Everett
Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.
Rupert Everett
I don't accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don't like what it's become. I don't blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It's got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.
Rupert Everett
It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.
Rupert Everett
I went to boarding school at seven and cried and cried.
Rupert Everett
If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster.
Rupert Everett
You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.
