• A character I would love to play is Iago, from Othello. (Tim Roth) [character/love]
• Acting is a short, sharp shock, and then I have a two-year break to do some directing. I mean you have to stop-OK, be serious about it-so I've put the kids through school. (Tim Roth) [school]
• Before I started, I worried about what I was going to say to the actors. It kept me awake at night. Sometimes you get the questions wrong. (Tim Roth) [actors/night]
• Bring back dueling, I say. Drive-by sword fight. (Tim Roth) [fight]
• British acting schools are diferent. There is a cultural difference. Americans, Africans, British, I'm not sure we share a language. (Tim Roth) [difference/share/language]
• Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary. (Tim Roth) [america]
• Doing comedy for film is always a challenge because you are in the hands of the editor after the fact. I am hoping I can do some more soon, I enjoy doing comedy. (Tim Roth) [film/more]
• Everyone is an abused child, if you think about what governments do. (Tim Roth) [child/think]
• Extra work sucks. Get out quick. (Tim Roth) []
• For me, acting's just great fun. A lot more fun than making sculptures, so that's what I wanted to do. It wasn't any great calling-maybe years later, when I'm 60 or whatever, I'll pretend it was, who knows?! But acting is just the most fun I could ever possibly have in my life... and it still is. (Tim Roth) [more/life]
• How would you compare Polanski or Kubrick? I try not to do any comparisons. (Tim Roth)
• I believe there is also a Tim Roth Monastery. (Tim Roth)
• I can't do anything else. So if this falls through, I'm screwed. (Tim Roth)
• I didn't want to make soundtrack film or a gun movie. These are the reasons I wanted to make a movie. I wanted to make an adult movie. (Tim Roth) [film/movie/movie/movie]
• I don't care to analyze acting. On the other hand there is a fascination because distributors are putting out British films. You get films here with great performances you'll never see again. Why compare. We should go after the businessmen. (Tim Roth) [care]
• 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) [time/people/point/find]
• I like the Knicks, the Knicks are OK. (Tim Roth)

• I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back. (Tim Roth) [family/being]
• 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) [stage/think/stage/experience]
• I studied Speed Racer, Gigantor, and other pop culture TV courtesy of Quentin. (Tim Roth) [speed/culture]
• 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) [think/director/take/bad]
• I try and take the family with me everywhere I can. It's getting harder the more kids I have. But celibacy sucks. (Tim Roth) [take/family/more]

• I'd seen musicians act, and it scares me. And they make more money than me. (Tim Roth) [more/money]
• I'm a workaholic. (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)
• 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) [time/prison]
• Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me. (Tim Roth) [/writers/writers]
• My mentors were my editiors. You come from location work with a million people and questions, and you get into the editing room, and its two people. (Tim Roth) [people/people]
