Geoffrey Rush Quotes

More people have a fear of speaking than a fear of death. So at a funeral, most people would want to be the person in the coffin rather than the person delivering the eulogy! Picture Quote #1

I asked, ‘What is this guy?’ They said, he’s part-fish, part-bird, maybe a bit of lizard, and you don’t have to go through five hours of makeup to play him. That was good enough for me Picture Quote #1

I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there’s special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater Picture Quote #1

You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I’m a traitor to my country because I don’t have a sporting bone in my body Picture Quote #1

Nobody ever said that growing old would be easy. Just having to hold the newspaper out in your forties and then hair growing out of unusual parts of your body in your fifties. It’s tough on the ego Picture Quote #1

I was never a leading man. I’ve always been in the outer concentric circles in the company, being a character actor, which is a good place to be. It gives you that diversity Picture Quote #1

Yeah, well, the F-bomb - it’s become as ubiquitous as the word ‘like.’ People just throw the word ‘like’ around as punctuation. And I think in a lot of everyday speech, the F-bomb has become a kind of dash or a comma Picture Quote #1

People tend to think of Brisbane as a sleepy, sub-topical place. I don’t know. It’s like Baltimore or something. I don’t know. You would hear the family dramas going on behind closed doors Picture Quote #1

There’s four biggies. There was Elizabeth I, George III, Victoria, and the current queen, who really dominated four eras Picture Quote #1

Someone told me that there’s a connection to Superman, that in an early edition of the Green Lantern comics, tomar Re was the envoy to Krypton. That was fascinating to me Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t mind meeting some of the people I’ve attempted to portray from the olden, olden days. They probably would all have really terrible skin and horrible bad breath, and I’d have to give them an Altoid Picture Quote #1

I often thought I was in the wrong business. I was pretty seriously thinking of tossing it in before I shot Shine. I do not know why. I was pretty restless, I had been through a bad period of stress induced anxiety - panic attacks - and I was not sure of what I wanted to do Picture Quote #1

I guess I’ve been fortunate in having an ongoing film career while being based in Melbourne. I’m happy to commute. A day on a plane. Come on. It’s easy Picture Quote #1

I do love perusing the dictionary to find how many words I don’t use - words that have specific, sharp, focused meaning. I also love the sound of certain words. I love the sound of the word pom-pom Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know the Green Lantern comics at all. I was a Superman reader Picture Quote #1

My kids started school, so having a strong base in Melbourne has been a key priority. I’m not daunted by the travel. People say, ‘It’s so far to Australia,’ and I say, ‘You get on the plane, you eat well, you sleep, you wake up - and you’re there.’ Picture Quote #1

I always felt thrilled and amazed that I could put actor on my tax form Picture Quote #1

I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen life Picture Quote #1

When people come to me and tell me I was terrific in this or that, I do not want to fall flat on my face the next time. But, tough, I have fallen flat before. You just get up and dust yourself off Picture Quote #1

This is what happens when you are on the wrong side of 40. Young adults, who could be your children, are now working with you. I was playing their parents or mentor. I started to think: Oh, I am not part of that group any more Picture Quote #1

It’s their story, and I got to be the guy in the back while they were in the foreground Picture Quote #1
