Oliver Reed

“I do not live in the world of sobriety.”

“I'm not a villain. I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and then.”

“The press has been terribly kind to me. I'm a shy person, and they've given me a lot of confidence.”

“Some people say I've got a drinking problem. But I've got no problem drinking at all.”

“I have two ambitions in life: one is to drink every pub dry, the other is to sleep with every woman on earth.”

“My only regret is that I didn't drink every pub dry and sleep with every woman on the planet.”

“Acting is just a way of making a living, the same as my brother is a baker.”

“I was a shy boy, but acting changed all that.”

“I sold my house to buy a drink. The house was gone in a weekend, the drink was gone in a second.”

“I don't have a drink problem. But if that was the case and doctors told me I had to stop, I'd like to think that I would be able to.”

“I believe that I am one of the most exciting actors of my generation.”

“I've got this image of myself as a rebel. But I'm not. I'm a nice boy.”

“When I'm in my second childhood, I'll probably be a dirty old man.”

“I'm a simple man. I just want to be known as a nice guy who makes people happy.”

“You can find my autobiography in anything I've done.”
