Terence Davies's quotes
- Work is my raison d'etre and if that's taken away you become a non-person. You're just filling in time till you die.
- I don't like being gay. It has ruined my life. I am celibate, although I think I would have been celibate even if I was straight because I'm not good-looking; why would anyone be interested in me? And nobody has been. Work was my substitute.
- There's only one thing more embarrassing than an actor with a gun: a British actor with a gun. Ridiculous.
- [on writing poetry] It's just you and the paper and no one is going to say: this is going to cost £50,000. [2015]
- [on Sunset Song (2015)] It's about forgiveness and accepting what has happened, and not being bitter, which is what my mother did. These are the cards you are dealt, so you get on with it and don't complain. That I find enormously moving. [2015]
- If I am introduced to somebody powerful, I immediately forget their name. No wonder I've got no bloody career. I'm hopeless at all that, just hopeless. [2015]
- [on catholicism] I was terribly devout, I believed it completely. I prayed literally till my knees bled. My teenage years were awful because of that. [2015]
- I have hated being gay, and I've been celibate for most of my life. Some people are just good at sex, and others aren't; I'm one of them who isn't. I'm just too self-conscious. [2015]
- [on Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song] You can't read that last page without being in tears.
- If I can see it and hear it then I do it. There's no point. I'm not a jobbing director. I wish I were, simply in terms of my bank balance. But I can't do something that I don't love.
