Quote of the Day

[kalibex]

"Those were the days when life began at 11 o'clock. Carousing all night with Peter O'Toole or Richard Harris or Trevor Howard. And those three-and-a-half-hour lunches where we all had wine and booze and everybody was driving Rolls-Royces and behaving like princes. Our ideal was Edmund Kean. [the 19th-century English tragedian] That's what you wanted, that demoniac power, to get on the stage without any sleep and scare the hell out of the audience! But in reality, everybody was completely conked and didn't know what was happening. Which was to the detriment of the work. When you look at some of those films we made! The . . . slow . . . pace. Of course, this couldn't go on forever. And it didn't."

-Christopher Plummer
