The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ian McShane
- The bad boy: always more fun.
- I don’t believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.
- If ‘Deadwood’ had gone on another two years, I wouldn’t have got as many movies made.
- I enjoy every role I do.
- Do you follow American politics? They hate Obama. Hate him. He’s a black man. That’s what it is: it’s racist. This guy is no bleeding-heart liberal. He’s a centrist.
- Blackbeard is probably the most infamous pirate who ever lived. He’s one of those characters for which most of your work is done before you start.
- When you’re doing a medieval show like ‘Pillars,’ it starts off a bit like a school play. You’re all in funny costumes; you’ve had your coffee, and you say, ‘Good morning’. Then you go on set and, if you’ve got good actors and directors, it takes on a life of its own.
- Acting’s boring.
- I come from the liberal side of thinking: Better one guilty man should walk free than one innocent man found guilty.
- I mean, I’m an actor. I do what comes along.
