Terence Stamp's quotes

• I would have liked to be James Bond.
• [on death] Few people understand it and live when it comes.
• [on declining to appear in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)] Actors prefer to work with actors.
• A lot of newspapers say Terence Stamp is playing himself and we're as bored as he is.
• A lot of people only see me as a villain.
• All actors are incredibly insecure.
• As a boy, I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.
• My favorite film is The Razor's Edge (1946) with Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power.
• [on Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)] He may be a great visionary, Lucas [George Lucas], and he may be great with toys and effects and stuff, but he doesn't really strike me as someone who was really interested in acting.
• [on his former flatmate Michael Caine] Caine gave me all my early values, like making sure you were doing good stuff, waiting for the right things - then as soon as he got away he did exactly the opposite. Went from one movie to another.
• A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.
• A lot of newspapers say, Terence Stamp is playing himself and we're as bored as he is.
• I have always had this energy, which I think of as overdrive.
• He's Soderbergh, we're working for him. It doesn't matter what he's doing; we'll see it at the premiere.
• Although you have some films that are a real bummer, there's always a film that comes up where it's just heaven.
• As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.
• At this point, it's either for fun or it's for money. I don't take movies that I don't really like.
• I was very disappointed that so much of the work I did on The Haunted Mansion (2003) didn't arrive in the final cut.
• I have to be stretched in some way. There's not enough things that come my way that I fancy.
• I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.
• In my youth I dreamed of being an illustrator.
• I've been doing Tai Chi on and off for 20 years. The fundamentals of all martial arts are the same.
• When I tested for Billy Budd (1962), I had that kind of confidence that comes with the certainty that you're not going to get something. I was very rough around the edges.
• My star was kind of fading towards the end of the '60s and suddenly I got this call from Fellini, who just appeared to kind of love me!
• What I wanted more than anything was a long career.
• Unless I try, I'm never really going to be at ease with myself.
• It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.
• I work primarily for the camera-it's not something I really talk about a lot, but it's part of the way I am as a movie actor. The camera is my girl, as it were.
• I've never wanted to become a politician, an interior decorator, I've never wanted to speculate and make a load of money. I just wanted this.
• It's such a performance to bring stuff into America. It's a great luxury when I am in England.
• With Fellini, the fear dropped out of my work because it was such a happy experience... hanging out with Fellini, having pasta on the set with Fellini, and going out with Fellini!
• From the very first movie I ever made to the current time, there have been times between action and cut when I've sensed some kind of new dimension that I haven't been familiar with before.
• In the case of Elektra (2005) I really wasn't sure I could pull it off. There were so many intellectual leaps. My character, Stick, is blind, but he can see better than most people. So I had trouble kind of finding the logic.
• Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you, he lived them.
