Trevor
“Most dictators were short, fat, middle-aged and hairless. Besides Danny Devito, there's only me to play them.”
“My own mum wouldn't call me pretty.”
“When you get to my age, what you want is the cameo. You get paid a lot of money. You fly in for a couple of weeks. Everybody treats you like the crown jewels. It's all great and if the film turns out to be a load of s - -, nobody blames you.”
“I've watched films and even forgotten I'm in them.”
“Acting is the best job in the world... Look at the way they treat you when you turn up for work. They give you breakfast and a cup of tea and ask, 'Are you all right?' They tart up your face, you say somebody else's words, then pick up your check and go home. And you get days off! I tell you, it really is the way to live.”
Quotes by Bob Hoskins (English Actor) born 26 October 1942.
