Richard O'Brien Quotations

The first movie I appeared in was Carry On Cowboy, though not as an actor. I was just riding horses.

Yes, but I think the big thing for everyone is to wear what they want and what suits them.

To play a role where you get to reveal intellectual change is wonderful.

There's something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what's lurking in them.

So all the rest is O.K., but fame is a hollow ground, isn't it? It's an empty kind of thing.

It is difficult to go on the next night after you receive a sandbagging.

Well, no. I was getting into trouble messing around with it for roles. So one night I went home, cut it down with a pair of scissors and then got in the bath and shaved it all off. I've never looked back.

I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy.

We were a Western civilisation, an English speaking civilisation, both NZ and Australia, and we had all these influences coming from both Great Britain and America to us; sending us their culture in the shape and form of movies and television.

Don't just dream it. Be it!
