Famous quotes by Ron Moody:

"We try to create this type of atmosphere. When they succeed, they become known as an academic school instead of an athletic school."

"We've lost a great artist and I've lost a great friend. We were more like Laurel and Hardy. We used to call ourselves Fagin and Dodger. We had that kind of bond between us. Jack really was cheated out of a great career."

"He was such a professional. ... He was always word perfect."

"But people can register at the door until the room fills up."

"Public access to public land is the focal point"

"We're a small group of grumpy old men who simply will not be denied access to public land,"

"Public access is now a hot political issue. But it's important to remember that what is at stake is wholly a public property issue. Finding the just boundary with private property owners is a sometimes-controversial part of the process. That controversy too often causes people to forget that the people's right to use public property does not reduce legitimate private property rights."

"There are literally hundreds ... of legitimate public right of ways closed to public use."

"Retire from the stage altogether, so crushing the blow of a dream child's collapse."

"Working on a film, you don't get time to develop rivalries, but the theatre is like a little village, and the differences between me, Lionel and Georgia grew."

"Fate destined me to play Fagin. It was the part of a lifetime, and I was the only actor to be in the stage production and in the film."

"My training was that you fill in the canvas where it needs colour and polishing. You start with the words on the first night and keep adding bits of business."

"For me, making the show work was getting belly laughs - like most variety artists. But the straight actor believes you fix your performance in rehearsal and that's it."

"I've no regrets. You take responsibility for your actions."

"I'd wanted to be an actor from the age of five."

"Now I can see I was at fault for not being more considerate, but when we were doing the show I didn't think it was my job to be considerate to other people."

"Playing Fagin in the play and film was a small miracle."

"My portrayal of Fagin was all to do with my experience in comedy and revue."

• Run - Emma Hewitt

My ignorance cast in the mold of all things absolute
I sustain forever my gaze. A stare fixed on the distant
oblivion
Resting in the inverted state of being dead, non-sensory
matter
As all the earth, the wind, the fire, the sea behold and

I know it’s today
So I guess you could say one recovers
It’s odd you should call me
But then after all we were lovers
I don’t wait by the phone like I used to
I don’t hope for kind words you might say
You don’t prey on my mind like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You’re telling me now
You regret how we never connected
Oh as if you forget that its me you regret you rejected
I don’t easily forgive like I used to
And I seldom get carried away
No you don’t have the pull that you used to
But you can still ruin my day
Oh, you can still ruin my day
Love it was lovely
It hardly hurt a bit
Sounds good to me but unfortunately
I remember it
Now I don’t lose my place like I used to
I’m not moved by your artful display
No you cant draw me in like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (repeat)

Again
Again
You know that I'm tired
You know that I'm ill
But you don't matter 'cos
I know that you will

I see the flashing lights through the pouring rain
I've been awake all night now I'm on my feet again
So many years ago I've been down these streets
And I'm taking my time though I know they're waiting for me...
Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed...
I got a beat of a drum going through my head
I hear it echo on like all those words you said
It's like nothing's changed and there's a trick being played on me
But I'm a lifetime away from where I need to be...
Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed...
Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed...
Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed...
Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed...
