A lot of people want to retire; I couldn't. You don't retire in our business. What, play golf and watch television? Oh, please.

A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time, never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature.

Christopher Plummer 26 quotes

I buried myself so much in th...

I buried myself so much in the classics that I felt, "Well now, I've played all the big parts, whether badly or goodly, I don't give a damn, but at least I've played them all. Now, let's start again. Let's start the whole career again." And it makes you feel like you're beginning again, it really does.

Christopher Plummer 26 quotes

I'm talking about when you're...

I'm talking about when you're nearer the end of your life than the beginning. Now what do you think you think about then? The future? In the future I'm going to do this? Become that? What future? No. What you think is, 'How will I be regarded in the end?'

I admire Ridley Scott, and I'm thrilled to be making a movie for him.

I think anger does fuel a successful acting career. To play the great roles, you have to learn how to blaze.

I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.

When I was young, I played the piano and studied classical music and jazz. I wanted to be a concert pianist, and if I'd devoted myself to it, I could have been. But it would have been too much work and a very lonely life.

I actually was brought up by an Airedale. I don't really remember my parents, especially my mother. It was only the dog that I saw.

I was an only child, so I was very demanding. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I wasn't very pleasant.

Christopher Plummer 26 quotes

Most of my life I have played...

Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.

I was always a happy kid. I'd play the piano fairly well. I did all sorts of things fairly well. But who the hell wants to be happy all the time? It's a miserable state to be in permanently. Can you imagine how dreary that would be?

Some of the best casts I've ever worked with have been dogs.

I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I'm one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.

I thought, 'If I make 35, it'll be okay,' and then at 40, I got scared, and now that I'm 81, I'm scared to death.

I've done a lot of pictures that are ensemble, and I've not always liked the people I was working with, but that doesn't make any difference because you do the job, and often it turns out to be a great ensemble even if you didn't particularly really like anybody.

Christopher Plummer 26 quotes

I think a lot of directors over the years have cast me because they see something of another generation in me: you know, certain people look like they've come from the 19th century. Because I have classical background I suppose that is more suitable to patriarchal roles and easily infuses them.

The part of Mike Wallace drew me to the movie because I thought, what an outrageous part to play.

Christopher Plummer 26 quotes

We used to listen to Lionel Barrymore do 'A Christmas Carol' on the radio long ago, and I like Reginald Owen, who played Scrooge in the first treatment for the screen. But my favorite Scrooge was Alastair Sim. He was enchanting, an absolutely beautiful performance.

Christopher Plummer 26 quotes

I wasn't thrilled about 'The Sound Of Music' - not the movie itself but my role in it. Captain Von Trapp was a bore, and they tried to help by giving it a bit more cynicism, but it wasn't my favourite role. I enjoyed the music, and I loved Julie Andrews.
