I was convinced that acting was for fools. I was on the stage when I was eight with my father, he was playing one of those Greek blind guys that sees things and warns people, whilst I was in a blue skirt. I think there were 5,000 people in the theatre, it was ridiculous.
Rutger HauerWhatsoever your hand finds to do, do it gladly. Because there is no work, love, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave.
Rutger HauerI don't mind reminding people it's a movie, or that you're telling a story. Everybody knows this, but for some reason, we want to be real. I don't get it, I like the fakeness of my craft. I don't think the audience minds-they all know we're making a movie.
Rutger HauerNobody's seen all my work. No one. No one in the world has seen all my movies. Some things just never came out... some things may still come out.
