Brian Cox Quotes

When you fall into a black hole you will be literally spaghettified Picture Quote #1

There’s so much light in Broughty Ferry. I think the humour in Glasgow is darker, because it’s much more gloomy, there’s a perpetual misery there Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing to do in movies is be a day-part player. You have to go in, make your mark, and get out. There’s a lot of leading actors who are not good for a lot of a movie, and then suddenly they have good moments, and they’re like stepping-stones across a particularly feisty stream. They build careers out of that Picture Quote #1

As a boy, I was never interested in theater because I came from a working-class Scottish home. I thought, ‘I want to do movies.’ Then it was finding the means to do it Picture Quote #1

The problem is that the U.K. in essence is a feudal society. It’s everyone in their place Picture Quote #1

There is a history of mental breakdowns in my family. It will never happen to me but it has happened to others in the family Picture Quote #1

There are characters that have made me uncomfortable. I did a film called ‘Rob Roy,’ and I played Killearn, who was this sort of greasy fallen-angel character who was voyeuristic and sleazy and really unpleasant. It was a great role, but I didn’t especially enjoy living with this awful man for the length of time it took to make the movie Picture Quote #1

Science is different to all other systems of thought because you don’t need faith in it, you can check that it works Picture Quote #1

Feudal societies don’t create great cinema; we have great theatre. The egalitarian societies create great cinema. The Americans, the French. Because equality is sort of what the cinema deals with. It deals with stories which don’t fall into ‘Everybody in their place and who’s who,’ and all that. But the theatre’s full of that Picture Quote #1

I always think I look like the Elephant Man - I can’t get used to my own image Picture Quote #1

The fact is that Hollywood, from as early as the sixties to the present time, has ghettoized cinema into the big industry, a marketing industry. In doing this, the audiences have lost touch with the aspects of film which were to be informative and educational and even spiritual Picture Quote #1

I did a film in which Andy Garcia and Michael Keaton both played the leads, ‘Desperate Measures,’ and interestingly enough it was their biggest payday. The film didn’t do well, and it kind of marked their careers. They’ve done less since. It all changed Picture Quote #1

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself Picture Quote #1

Actors in general have become very spoiled in the roles they choose these days. When I first started in this profession - about a hundred years ago in the last century - it was all about taking risks, it was about doing the job and honing the craft Picture Quote #1

I think I must be the only British actor who’s played both Stalin and Trotsky. I need to play Lenin so I can make it a triptych Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s just acting. It’s pretending. The best actors are children, and children don’t do research. You never see a child going, ‘I’m wondering about my motivation here. How can I do this toy? How can I do this train? I don’t feel train.’ Picture Quote #1

Ah, there’s a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who’s, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he’s a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art Picture Quote #1

In a sense I feel very much a part of the cinema now in a way where when I come back to the theater now I feel like a visitor. The cinema is really what I enjoy. I want to do more independent movies Picture Quote #1

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense! Picture Quote #1

Every carbon atom in every living thing on the planet was produced in the heart of a dying star Picture Quote #1

You dig deeper and it gets more and more complicated, and you get confused, and it’s tricky and it’s hard, but... It is beautiful Picture Quote #1

We explore because we are curious, not because we wish to develop grand views of reality or better widgets Picture Quote #1
