Christopher Eccleston’s 5 most popular quotes
- I think film and television are really a director’s medium, whereas theatre is the actor’s medium.
- I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.
- What we have is the here and now, and what we have is each other, and let’s find a way to deal truthfully with each other.
- No matter how big a name you are, how many big series you’ve been in or how good looking you are, in the end, all actors are secondary to the writer.
- I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor’s dream!
