My interests and obsessions have always been so wide-ranging that I keep popping my head out of different boxes as much as possible. – Tim Curry
I find there is something very intimate about being the voice in someone’s ear when they’re driving. – Tim Curry
I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author’s view, and I think that’s terribly dangerous. – Tim Curry
In most careers, you find something you do well, and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package. – Tim Curry
The way the world is, I think a silly evening in the theatre is a good thing, to take our minds off terror. – Tim Curry
When I did ‘Amadeus,’ I hadn’t done a play for five years. And I was so happy doing it and felt so foolish that I hadn’t done a play for such a long time that I wanted to go back and really kind of reach out for a classical career. – Tim Curry
I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It’s that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I’ve done before because that keeps me awake.

While you were all sort of eating butter and eggs, we were eating rabbit. That’s what there was in the butcher shop. – Tim Curry
But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you – that whatever talents you have, it… I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it’s your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know? – Tim Curry
My great hero is Billie Holiday, and I’ve always wanted to do an album of standards with a piano-led quartet. – Tim Curry
I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child’s imagination. We’re all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup. – Tim Curry
One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned. – Tim Curry
I think artists are driven by the engine of their own talent, but it’s a question of what use they put it to. – Tim Curry
