The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Richard Griffiths
- I’ve got this terrible hernia. People think it’s a fat gut, but it’s not.
- 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.
- I wouldn’t inflict my naked body on any paying audience.
- It’s been the most astonishing year because I’ve been having a marvelous adventure, and yet I kind of sympathize with people who have to live in exile, because I’ve so missed England.
- 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.
- 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.
- Every time I’ve talked about my family in the past, people have ended up getting upset. So I said to my friends and family: ‘I shan’t refer to you at all, and there’s nothing for you to get upset about. There’s the deal.’
- 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.
- 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.
- My vanity is not remotely physical, it is cerebral. I suppose feeling self-conscious might be a form of vanity, though.
