Picture Quotes As we're leaving the King's Arms Hotel after Sunday lunch, I watch a beautiful white dove walking down the wet road. A car approaches and the bird accidentally turns into the wheel rather than away from it. A gentle crunch. The car passes. A shape like a discarded napkin left in the road. Still perfectly white, no red stains, but bearing no relation anymore to the shape of a bird. A trail of white feathers flutter down the road after the car. The suddeness is very upsetting. That gentle crunch. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I have a Woody Allen Jewish attitude to life: that it's all going to be disastrous. That it hasn't all been that way is simply down to some random quirk of fate. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I was a weak kid, not good at what all the boys at school were good at and I found that by acting, by being other people, I could liberate myself from those inadequacies. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Every play I do, every book I write, every painting I paint, I will struggle with. I don't know what it's like for a project to come easy. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Why is an actor's unintentional giggling called a 'corpse'? It seems to me quite the opposite. It proves that he's very much alive, and can still tell how silly this all is: him dressed up as someone else speaking words written by a third party. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I feel so sorry for younger actors who aren't able to have the opportunities that I had, starting out in repertory theatre. It's really tough on young actors now. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes What drew me to acting in the first place was disguise. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Now the dressing-room full of RSC hierarchy. Suddenly Trevor Nunn pushes his way through and 'Trevs' me. I've heard a lot about this 'Trevving', but never had it done to me. From what I'd heard, a 'Trev' is an arm round your shoulder and a sideways squeeze. But this 'Trev' is a full frontal hug, so complete and so intimate that the dressing-room instantly clears, as if by suction. I'm left alone in the arms of this famous man wondering whether it's polite to let go. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I've been quoting the book [on Peter Sutcliffe] constantly in rehearsals. Some members of the cast have stated their disapproval that it should even have been written. Some of the women have expressed more - disgust and anger. What are they saying? They'd prefer not to know, not to understand? They'd prefer certain areas of life to be censored? Isn't that partly what breeds the Sutcliffes and the Nilsens? —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Most of my career has been spent with the RSC doing Shakespeare, and the thing you learn from Shakespeare is that his historical plays don't bear anything other than a basic resemblance to history. —Antony SherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
