Richard Curtis's quotes
- You won't find many people who've had an easier ride in movies than I.
- Never, ever in any of our films have we thought 'we'll do this for the American market', Sometimes we'd change a song or a name or the word 'arse' but on the whole we try to make movies for home and then just hope they'll work in the US.
- I like to work with people who are fond of me, who really know me.
- I think it's a responsibility of people who have had very lucky lives indeed to try to spread some of that around.
- The worst moment of my life was when I watched Notting Hill and thought: 'Oh, God, it's exactly the same as Four Weddings and a Funeral.' I'd been working on it for four years and it never occurred to me...
- I might have one more sit-com in me before I die.
- These days the things you can watch together as a family are much fewer so when you get something like Doctor Who (2005) or The X Factor (2004) it is such a pleasure to sit down as a family.
- My films are not really written in a formulaic way, even though some people might think they are. They take a long time to develop.
- [on Philip Seymour Hoffman] I don't think there is any doubt or argument that he was the greatest character actor of our time.
