Famous quotes by John Gielgud:

"I have been extraordinarily lucky,"

"Before you can do something you must first be something."

"Your English style will no doubt put all the other gentlemen to bed. I speak figuratively, of course."

"One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement."

"Olivier's was, to my mind, the definitive Macbeth. Olivier had murder in his heart the moment he came on the stage."

"Acting is half shame, half glory. Shame at exhibiting yourself, glory when you can forget yourself."
