Alan Bates's quotes
- Of course, you start with dreams of being a star. You want recognition, public recognition. And why not? You're doing public work.
- I think all plays should be filmed. I think we should forget about this division of cinema and theatre. I think any sort of great production should be filmed, just for the future if for nothing else.
- I consider Peter Finch and James Mason the two best English actors of the 1960s. But I never understood Finch. How could he do something as beautiful as Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971), but also make all that other shit? I mean he could read, couldn't he?
- I think actors are privileged. Acting feeds you.
- It can happen that two people can love each other and not be able to get on at all.
