Tim Roth's quotes

  • I have a bad time between jobs because I'm always convinced I'll never work again. I think it may be an English thing, this fear of unemployment.
  • [on attending the Academy Awards ceremony] Like going to Liberace's house on acid.
  • [on Reservoir Dogs (1992)] There's a lot of blood in that film. I think there's only nine pints in a body, we had about four gallons.
  • I've never really played a goody in the traditional sense. Anyway, I don't think that I look the part of a heroic character, especially not in Hollywood, so they never really come up. On a childish level, villains are just more fun.
  • Every film you make as an actor, it's not yours, it's the director's.
  • Americans have bought - lock, stock and barrel - the Jeremy Irons - Kenneth Branagh England. And it's fake. It's an absolute con. Merchant-Ivory? Bollocks!
  • I think every director has a different take. Some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films. So who's to say who is right?
  • There is less pressure on a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to be a rich and famous person. That would be pretty boring.
  • Bring back dueling, I say. Drive-by sword fight.
  • I have incredible stage fright. It's awful. Filming holds no fear for me. It's just where I live.
  • [on the ending of Planet of the Apes (2001)] I cannot explain that ending. I have seen it twice and I don't understand anything.
  • People remember villians. Sometimes in an action movie or sci-fi movie, being a villain is actually kind of interesting.
  • [on General Thade's temper in Planet of the Apes (2001)] I remember that from a documentary series. When they charge you, when they fight, they go insane. And then you're gone. It's over. They are very vicious at times.
  • [on Tim Burton] He creates this bizarre, twisted, odd, nuts kind of worlds and you can't put your finger on them. They're always kind of glorious and enduring as well. You just want to be a part of it.
