The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Richard Harris
- There are too many prima donnas in this business and not enough action.
- I’m not interested in reputation or immortality or things like that . . . I don’t care what I’m remembered for. I don’t care if I’m remembered. I don’t care if I’m not remembered. I don’t care why I’m remembered. I genuinely don’t care.
- No one gave me anything. I fought TB, I fought the devil. But I made people laugh. I don’t want immortality. I’ve lived it all. I’ve done it all.
- I would give up all the accolades–people have occasionally written and said nice things–of my showbiz career to play just once for the senior Munster team. I will never win an Oscar now, but even if I did I would swap it instantly for one sip of champagne from the Heineken Cup.
- Someone asked me once “What is the difference between Tom Cruise now and you when you were a major star?” I said there is a great difference. Look at a photograph of me from the old days and I’m going to one of my film premieres with a bottle of vodka in my hand. Tom Cruise has a bottle of Evian water. That’s the difference–a bottle of Evian water.
- What I hate about our business today is the elitism. So-called stars ride in private jets and have bodyguards and dietitians and beauticians. Tom Cruise is a midget and he has eight bodyguards all 6’10”, which makes him even more diminutive. It’s an absolute joke.
- I can see the difficulties of making a movie. Directors and producers have to put up with a lot of rubbish from temperamental actors.
- I was a sinner. I slugged some people. I hurt many people. And it’s true, I never looked back to see the casualties.
- I hate movies. They’re a waste of time. I could be in a pub having more fun talking to idiots rather than sitting down and watching idiots perform.
- I consider a great part of my career a total failure. I went after the wrong things–got caught in the ’60s. I picked pictures that were way below my talent. Just to have fun.
