Simon Callow's quotes

  • [on Alec Guinness] He wrote to tell me he had just seen A Passage to India (1984), and as the lights had come up he had vomited in shame at his own performance as Professor Godbole.
  • [on receiving the C.B.E. under the Tony Blair government] Being honoured by one's country is even better than winning a Tony Award. But since it comes from Downing Street, I suppose in a sense it is a Tony.
  • [on William Shakespeare] It's the most melodious words ever written in the English language. It's also in rhythm, you know, like music, and people love that.
