Laurence Olivier

Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

I am not a man who is easily pleased.

I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Is it safe?

I have a theory that the best way to play a villain is to make him believe he's doing the right thing.

The theatre is a place where we can explore the human condition, where we can laugh and cry and learn.

I've always been drawn to characters who are complex and contradictory.

The greatest challenge for an actor is to make the audience believe that what they're seeing is real.

I've always tried to bring a sense of truth and honesty to my performances.

The theatre is a collaborative art form. It's about working together to create something special.

I've always believed that the best way to learn is by doing.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The only true happiness comes from giving yourself to a cause greater than yourself.
