Richard Griffiths Quotes

I hate being the subject of photographs Picture Quote #1

Some bloke came up to me in Tesco a couple of years ago at 11:30 pm and said: ‘Excuse me, would you mind telling my son here that you’re Uncle Vernon?’ I said: ‘Get a grip. It’s 11:30 at night - what’s he doing out of bed? I’m not here to entertain people at this time of night Picture Quote #1

I’ve got this terrible hernia. People think it’s a fat gut, but it’s not Picture Quote #1

I hated my childhood. It was loathsome. My parents were deaf and dumb. Profoundly so. They could make noises when they were emotionally aroused, but they couldn’t form it into speech Picture Quote #1

Since puberty I’ve always had this strange awareness that all the keener experiences I would have in my life would happen later than it would to my contemporaries. When it came to the career thing, I never worried about it. It’s better if you’re still peaking when you’re 60, which I feel I am Picture Quote #1

When I see David Attenborough talking about how chimps live, big apes, I just remember my dad and the way he’d look at you. He couldn’t speak, but everything else about him was, ‘This is us, a family.’ Relationships are just as intense as they are for people who can speak. Probably more so Picture Quote #1

My vanity is not remotely physical, it is cerebral. I suppose feeling self-conscious might be a form of vanity, though Picture Quote #1

I went from being a beanpole - like a normal kid of the 1950s - and exploded. The weight piled on and didn’t stop until into my adulthood Picture Quote #1

I could never understand the attraction of Bette Davis. I always preferred Jane Russell Picture Quote #1

I don’t like the way I look so I don’t like being photographed. I become defensive Picture Quote #1

I’ve always turned down stuff where you had to be fat. I may be fat, but that’s not why you play a role. If the guy has to be that way, I say get somebody else because I’m not doing any fat acting Picture Quote #1

I’ve always hated the way I looked, and I’ve never complained about my brains Picture Quote #1

Broadway has the most savvy audience anywhere. They see everything and they know their theater. As sophisticated and subtle as you think you can be, the houses you get here will want something finer Picture Quote #1

I’ve got this terrible hernia. People think it’s a fat gut, but it’s not Picture Quote #1

I trained as an artist originally, so I know what a nice human body looks like, and I would like to look like that notion, and of course I never will. But I’ve got past that Picture Quote #1

Winning is something you’ve dreamed about and hoped for, so that when you get there it’s no big deal. But if you lose you’re gutted, and the gutted sense just goes on, and I know what that’s like, because I’ve been having that gutted feeling since 1979 Picture Quote #1

Some actors don’t mind it. Those who are pretty. They think it’s nice to be looked at because they are nice to look at. I appreciate that. I’m very happy to salute that aspiration. But I don’t like the way I look so I don’t like being photographed. I become defensive Picture Quote #1

Actors do have good and bad sides. It’s because the passage down the birth canal distorts the face. People born by caesarean section are more symmetrical Picture Quote #1
