“One of two things happen in heavy dramatic moments like that, as actors. You either put the bit between your teeth and do it. Or you realize how totally dotty being an actor is. …Feigning fear, or courage. It’s the Peter Pan syndrome, never got past the age of five.”

RIP Samatha Eggar (1939-2025)

“A lotta people have come up to me and tell me, you know if it wasn’t for me they would have never picked up a guitar. If I knew that was gonna be the case, I probably woulda practiced a little more.”

RIP Ace Frehley (1951-2025)

“Comics have been my whole life…They were my first passion, and kept me going when things were tough…Comics - reading them, making them - gave me escape. I never had the career I hoped for, but at least I’m staying true to that love, right to the end.”

RIP Christopher Mills (1965-2025)

“I get hired for my style and my feel. So, if a song calls for…the ‘Rebel Yell’ alley — that kind of style — then they’ll hire me. I kind of do it the best. I mean, it’s not just that style, either…I can do whatever it takes for the feel to sound good.”

RIP Thommy Price )1956-2025)

“I just have to keep going back to the core and think that we’re all afraid of it and when we’re afraid of it, you run to something much easier, something that looks like candy.”

RIP Diane Keaton (1946-2025)

“I’ve never wanted the accolades. It’s just wonderful to have them, but it’s not what I’ve been after. I just want to play my bass and make sure everything I do on that bass is the right thing, for what I think is the right thing for that particular song.”

RIP John Lodge (1943-2025)

“John Woodvine is a very serious actor…but underneath all of that there’s a sort of wicked twinkle in his eye constantly and when the camera is not on him he’s doing something to you just waiting for you to go.” - Davyd Harries in Doctor Who “The Armageddon Factor”

RIP John Woodvine 1929-2025

“It takes a lot of scribbles. The table gets covered in them. Then, you throw them away. Slowly you narrow it down. You subtract, you don’t add…The less you give away, the better.”

RIP Renato Casaro (1935-2025)

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of ditterence you want to make.”

“All of the films that l've made are about the country I live in and grew up in...I've always been interested in the gray area that exists between the black and white, or the red and blue, and that's where complexity lies.”

RIP Robert Redford (1936-2025)
