Albert Finney's quotes

[speaking in 1961] "My job is acting, and that is why I hate interviews or lectures, explaining myself to an audience."
I'm not the romantic type ... I'm a bit like the late, great Peter Sellers, only happy in character roles.
[on Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960)] "I was the first man to be seen sleeping with another man's wife in an English film."
"On the Waterfront (1954) came out and there were 150 guys [at RADA] all doing Brando impressions".
I just felt I was being used. I wasn't involved ... I felt bored most of the time. - On Tom Jones (1963)
[on Charles Laughton] He was the first kind of legend I actually had contact with professionally, which was very exciting. I admired him in his movies; I'd never seen him on the stage. I thought he was terrific.
