Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it. – Tim Roth
I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there’s about 50 people with producer credits, so what’s the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance. – Tim Roth
Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason… to write for me. – Tim Roth
You read a script and its based on ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Pulp Fiction’, and it goes right in the bin. – Tim Roth

There just seems to be more acceptance now of… other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones. – Tim Roth
I’m sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I’m bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor – a real person. – Tim Roth
I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven’t been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned. – Tim Roth
If you meet somebody who’s spent any length of time in prison, you don’t let your guard down. Ever. And really, that’s what that was about-if you open up too much, you’re asking to get your teeth kicked in. – Tim Roth
I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don’t make the best films, so who’s to say who is right. – Tim Roth
