“I make two movies a year to take care of the butcher and the baker and the school fees. Then I try to write, but it's not that easy. Acting is what's easy.”
David Niven

“Every role is challenging in its own way, but the most challenging roles are the ones that are badly written.”
Richard Schiff

“I never write for money. I only act for money.”
Robert Shaw

“The life of a playwright is tough. It's not easy as some people seem to think. You work hard writing plays and nobody puts them on. You take up other lines of work to try to make a living. You became an actor and people don't hire you. So, you just spend your days doing the errands of your trade.”
