Charles Dance’s 5 most popular quotes
- I’m actually as common as mud. I’m not particularly well read, or bred. But the way I look… I seem to have this sort of ‘aristocratic’ demeanor.
- On an independent film you’re lucky if you get one, but ostensibly the job is the same. There’s very little difference, apart from the knowledge that there’s a captive audience at the end of it – which you can’t always guarantee with a movie.
- Power is always a corrupting influence. In this mythical time – let’s call it medieval, feudal – people in power are dictatorial and don’t want their positions of power to be threatened.
- It’s a question of keeping one’s eyes and ears open and watching how other people play the game. They’re watching me too, to see what my attitude is like.
- I was a window dresser for Burton’s once. What really put me off was the area manager coming round and saying, Charles, I think you’re a natch at this.
