John Challis's quotes
- I think I prefer comedy, because there is no better feeling then to hear someone laughing- it's to do with making people happy.
- We just knew that whatever else we did, however good we were in other roles, the most famous thing we'd ever do was Only Fools and Horses (1981). It was just so big. But it was wonderful to be in something that meant so much to people.
- [on Roger Lloyd Pack] Speaking as a rather theatrical actor myself, I sort of quite envied him the ability to suggest something by doing absolutely nothing.
- Jamaica Inn (2014) looks very good but I haven't heard a single word...Either the actors are mumbling or the sound track is faulty.
- [on Doctor Who (1963)] Tom's [Tom Baker] a lot of people's favourite Doctor. He loved a laugh. We had some great times, that was one of the happiest jobs I ever did.
- Playing so many villains is really quite difficult for me because I can't fight. I've never been able to fight. I can play football and cricket and all that but I can't run and I can't fight.
- Sad news of Lynsey de Paul, beautiful and talented singer/songwriter. Storm in a Teacup, one of my favourite songs.
- Increasingly I got identified for that role [Boycie]. I didn't mind. I always found humour in things.
- There's a part of me that wants to do a really searing serious role. To sit down and be a dad whose daughter has done wrong, or misbehaving or something like that. I've got a hankering to do that as well.
