Famous quotes by John Hurt:
"I loathed school. I don't have an academic mind, and besides I was so bored by my teachers! How teachers can take a child's inventiveness and say yes, yes, in that pontifical way of theirs, and smother everything!"
"What's the difference, actually, between believing in a God on one side or the other, Catholic or Protestant? It's all the same if you accept it. Much of our morality is based on things completely outmoded. But people are wonderful. There's no harm in them, they're not the problem. It's governments and politics that make wars and do stupid things, and they should be attended to. There's no security in this life."
"I put everything I can into the mulberry of my mind and hope that it is going to ferment and make a decent wine. How that process happens, I'm sorry to tell you I can't describe."
"It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater."
"I think the director, John Huston, took on the picture because he's been trying to outdo his father, Walter Huston, and that's impossible. How do you cope with a genius? I couldn't communicate with my own father."
"I left drama school and went straight into a 10-week film for which I was paid $75 I might say, which for 1962 was one heck of a lot of money."
"I first decided that I wanted to act when I was 9. And I was at a very bizarre prep school at the time, to say high Anglo-Catholic would be a real English understatement."
"I was keen on sports-that's how my nose got this way. It's not actually broken; the nose was just pushed up a little bit and moved over. It's an aquiline nose, quite Irish."
"If you do an interview in 1960, something it's bound to change by the year 2000. And if it doesn't, then there's something drastically wrong."
"His life has really opened up since I made him a Senator"
"I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films."
"Also the wonderful thing about film, you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You did realise that it is going to come to an end at some stage."

Zo Mooi, Zo Wreed
by: Jan RotHij draait zich om en van haar af
Zoekt naar een zuigzoen, vloekt, strijkt zijn haar glad
Glijdt traag in zijn kleren en vraagt haar om een vuurtje
Hij blijft voor het venster een sigaretlang staan
"Ik moet zo weg", zegt ie, zijn jas al aan
Tussen komst en vertrek zit amper een uurtje
Hoe kan iemand zo mooi, zo wreed zijn?
Hoe kan iemand zo mooi, zo breed zijn?
Wat zij echt voor hem voelt schijnt niet ter zaken
Hij komt hier voor één doel...
Een paar weken later, ineens de telefoon, "Waar heb jij uitgehangen?"
Ze hoort de hoon als ie zegt, "Ik kom zo dadelijk bij je"
Zij neemt zich voor hem nu de waarheid eens te zeggen
Zodra ze opendoet begint ze uit te leggen
Maar hij snoert haar de mond, leidt haar tot bed, en zegt een half uur later pas, "Oja, daarnet, wat zei je?"
Hoe kan iemand zo mooi, zo wreed zijn?
Hoe kan iemand zo breed, zo mooi zijn?
Hij komt hier voor een doel "H'm flink te raken"
En wat zij voor hem voelt schijnt niet ter zaken
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
