Kevin Whately People Quotations

I wish people would take more care of the countryside.

I don't see why it gives people the right to know about my private life if I don't want to talk about it.

I hate anything with 'celebrity' in the title, where people are playing to the cameras all the time.

Oxford has a slightly mythical rep, particularly for people who haven't been there.

You get pigeonholed. Some people are film stars, and some are theatre stars who do one-off telly. Somehow, I get into long-running series.

I still remember going to a smart restaurant in Los Angeles, and the maitre d' knew my name and showed me straight to a table even though we hadn't booked. I get stopped for autographs by people from Sweden on the tops of mountains.

People are very appreciative, and I'm always thrilled at how long the 'Morse' films have lasted. They seem to have an afterlife that goes on and on for decades, which is touching.

Put me on telly, and I think I have a relaxation on camera that makes an audience relax, too. It's not a conscious thing. Cameras don't bother me, whereas other people try to perform to them.
