Sam Neill's quotes

"Of all the characters I've played, I think I have more in common with that guy than with Reilly: Ace of Spies (1983) referring to Carl Fitzgerald in Death in Brunswick (1990). Who Weekly (NZ) 8/23/93.
Referring to The Simpsons (1989): "I'm playing a cat burglar. I've made it. This is the high point of my career. I'm really chuffed". EW, 7/23/93.
If all I did was acting, I'd go out of my mind.
The pathetic thing about actors is they don't feel valid unless they're acting.
[2014, on socializing with Michael Williams and Warren Clarke during the making of Enigma (1982)] My liver is still recovering.
[on changing his name from Nigel to Sam, aged ten] I saved myself a lifetime of pain.
[Tell us a secret.] I was christened Nigel. It set me back for years.
[Which living person do you most admire, and why?] My brother, Michael. He is an academic and has devoted his life to scholarship; my life seems trivial by comparison. Bastard.
[What did you want to be when you were growing up?] A soldier like my father. I would have been useless.
[Which words or phrases do you most overuse?] I'm sorry to say, the word is fuck.
[What keeps you awake at night?] Worrying about insomnia.
[What do you most dislike about your appearance?] Pretty much all of it. But these weird fat bits on my hips - yuck!
[What song would you like played at your funeral?] I Will Remember You, by Sarah McLachlan. That'll choke the bastards up if nothing else will.
[What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?] Sloth. No, wait, greed. No, gluttony.
[What has been your biggest disappointment?] My complete ineptitude at sport.
[What is the worst job you've done?] Everyone says it's the Fifa film [United Passions], but I had a marvellous time.
[Who would play you in the film of your life?] Tilda Swinton.
[What makes you unhappy?] Solitude. I crave company.
[What is your guiltiest pleasure?] Come Dine With Me. Everything you need to know about the British in one tidy hour.
[What is the worst thing anyone's said to you?] "Did we sleep together? Really? Are you quite sure?"
