David Warner

“I've made a career out of playing villains. I'm not really a villain in my own life. But you have to be some sort of actor to do it.”

“I'm not a household name. I'm a household face. You know what I mean? People see me and they say, 'I know you from somewhere'.”

“I mean, I'm not a matinee idol. I'm not a romantic lead. I'm a character actor.”

“When I was a young actor, I was very timid. I was not a good auditioner. I was very shy.”

“I don't think I'm a star. I'm an actor. I've been a working actor for a long time.”

“If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One.”

“End of line.”

“I've been lucky. I've worked with some of the best directors in the business.”

“I never had any ambition to be a star. I just wanted to be a working actor.”

“I'm what you would call a societal surgeon.”

“I think I've been in more turkeys than any other actor.”
