Michael Gambon’s 5 most popular quotes
- I’m very flower-like. I love classical music. I go to ballet and I cry. There’s nothing so beautiful.
- I’ve played quite a lot of crooks and killers, and that’s quite interesting. Then Dumbledore is the complete opposite, isn’t he? He’s a nice old man.
- I want to be good all the time, so I feel anxious. But if you weren’t like that, you’d be dead, wouldn’t you? If you went out happy down the road, la la la. I’ve never been like that. I don’t want to be.
- I’m an anorak. I’ve always been an obsessive collector of things. Richard Briers collects stamps. I collect cars and guns, which are much more expensive, and much more difficult to store.
- Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
