The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Pete Postlethwaite
- I’m not a practicing Catholic now. I didn’t like what the church was doing with what Jesus had said, in a way. But I wouldn’t say I’m not religious.
- I refuse to be typecast, and I’ll have a go at anything so long as it’s different, challenging, hard work and demands great versatility.
- When I made a breakthrough as an actor, people started to say, ‘Who’s that bloke with the funny name?’ They advised me to change it, saying it would never be put up in lights outside theaters because they couldn’t afford the electricity. But I would never contemplate changing it. It’s who I am.
- I like playing characters that are complex, that are intriguing, that come from left field, that do things that are unexpected. I don’t like people who just follow one line and that’s it – that’s why I could never be in a sitcom, I don’t think. They’re not intriguing enough for me.
- Whenever I get a good script, I don’t care whether it’s telly or theatre or big screen – I’m not bothered.
- At the end of the day, acting is all about telling lies. We are professional imposters and the audience accept that. We’ve made this deal that we tell you a tale and a pack of lies, but there will be a truth in it. You may enjoy it, or it will disturb you.
- I was born and bred a Catholic. I was brought up a very strong Catholic – I practiced in a seminary for four years, from eleven to fourteen, and trained to be a Catholic priest. So I was very steeped in all that.
- I couldn’t imagine living my life with another name.
