Best performance of the year: Aston Villa v. Milan, September 1994

A superb tenor voice, like a silver trumpet muffled in silk.

Essentially, I'm a small-part actor who's been lucky enough to play leading roles for most of his life.

The applause of all but very good men is no more than the precise measure of their possible hostility.

A person who is keen to shake your hand usually has something up his sleeve.

I don't know what else I could do but pretend to be an actor.

I neither suffer myself, nor other fools, gladly.

An actor is at his best a kind of unfrocked priest who, for an hour or two, can call on heaven and hell to mesmerize a group of innocents.

The point of a knighthood for British actors is to enable them to play butlers.
