“I was an only child, so I was very demanding. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I was…” — Christopher Plummer

A lot of people want to retire; I couldn't. You don't retire in our business. What, play golf and watch television? Oh, please.

I'm insatiably ambitious.

Never forget your sense of humour.

I think a lot of directors over the years have cast me because they see something of another generation in me: you know, certain people look like they've come from the 19th century. Because I have classical background I suppose that is more suitable to patriarchal roles and easily infuses them.
