Richard Burton

I am an ordinary man who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities.

An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.

The only thing that matters is the work. The rest is just noise.

Acting is a masochistic profession. You have to be willing to be hurt.

I've always been a bit of a loner. I prefer my own company to most people's.

I'm a very private person, but I'm also a very public figure. It's a contradiction.

I'm not a very good actor, but I'm a very good star.

I've never been afraid of death. I've always been more afraid of life.

I'm a very emotional person. I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I've always been drawn to the dark side of life. I find it more interesting.

I'm a very complex person. I have many different sides to me.

I'm a very passionate person. I throw myself into everything I do.

I'm a very stubborn person. Once I make up my mind, there's no changing it.

I'm a very loyal person. I'm fiercely protective of the people I love.

I'm a very honest person. I always tell it like it is, even if it's not what people want to hear.

I'm a very generous person. I love to give to others.

I'm a very sensitive person. I'm easily hurt.

I'm a very spiritual person. I believe in something greater than myself.

I'm a very resilient person. I always bounce back from adversity.

I'm a very optimistic person. I always see the good in people and situations.
