peterotooled:alfrdopacino:I’m a very physical actor. I use everything - toes, teeth, ears, everything. I don’t simply mean physical in the sense of movement and vigour. I find myself remembering the shape of a scene by how I’m standing, what I’m doing. - Peter O’Toole He looked like a beautiful, emaciated secretary bird… his voice had a crack like a whip… most important of all you couldn’t take your eyes off him… Acting is usually regarded as a craft and I claim it to be nothing more except in the hands of the odd few men and women who, once or twice in a lifetime, elevate it into something odd and mystical and deeply disturbing. I believe Peter O’Toole to have this strange quality. - Richard Burton I’ve always thought of O’Toole as a complex, tripartite character invented by JM Barrie. He’s capable of seducing with the irresistible, innocent charm of Peter Pan. He can produce a nonchalant, urbane sophistication worthy of Mr Darling, before intentionally self-sabotaging with Captain Hook-like flashes of dangerous, deranged derring-do. You never quite know which personality to expect. - Sarah Standing The ‘hellraiser’ you hear about in the press was Peter’s past. I would know – I used to have to carry him home after our drinking sessions in The Old White Bear pub. He was a smiling drunk – always laughing and joking. But I will mainly remember him as a very kind and very loving man. When he walked into a room he had such an aura about him – even those who didn’t know who he was would comment on it. -- Keith Hunt I can’t stand light. I hate weather. My idea of heaven is moving from one smoke-filled room to another. - Peter O’Toole RIP Peter O’Toole (2 August 1932 - 14 December 2013) -- source link
