  Quotes by Gielgud, John




Sir Arthur John Gielgud OM CH (April 14, 1904May 21, 2000) was an English theatre and film actor, regarded by many as one of the greatest of his time..

"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."
