Herbert Lom's quotes
- Asylum (1972) was good exposure for me and it is still shown quite often on television. I remember the special effects people had fun making a little doll that looked like me - which is not so easy - and it had to move along the floor.
- You know, I always do my best, no matter the quality of the film.
- For one of my scenes, the Hammer people wanted me to smash my head against a stone pillar, because they said they couldn't afford one made of rubber. I refused to beat my head against stone, of course.
- In English eyes, all foreigners are sinister.
- [on Alexander Mackendrick] He had a charming habit of losing his temper very frequently, but exclusively with the bosses, never with his cast.
- America would not let me in. I was suspected of being a fellow traveller, a Communist sympathiser. Everybody had Communist leanings. But I was not a lover of Communist regimes. And I admired America greatly, yet for many years I was not allowed in.
- It's my job to give my best. I can't give anything else.
- It was a godsend when I was offered the part. But it did become a double-edged sword as people started to associate me with Dreyfus and I lost a number of dramatic parts as a result of it.
- I owe Blake the fact that I've been doing comedy. When he called me for the first time, he said, 'You've been the heavy so often, but I think you're a funny man.'
- When you are tempted to say no, they offer you so much money it would be irresponsible to one's family, to one's children, to refuse.
- When I'm writing, there's nobody watching me. It's a terrible thing to be watched, either by the audience or by the camera.
- [on The Human Jungle (1963)] A boring part. All I had to do was sit behind a desk saying, 'And vot happened next?', and the terribly interesting patient got all the good bits.
