Q: “Why is George [Harrison] the best actor?”
Richard Lester: “I think just George came without any highs and without any lows and he always got it right, he nailed it and walked on and waited for the next time. He was very calm.”
Q: “Because that scene where he goes into the producer’s office there isn’t a line in there he doesn’t absolutely drive home. He’s perfect.” - The Guardian BFI interview, November 8, 1999
George Harrison: “There was one piece of dialogue where I say, ‘Oh, I’m not wearing that — that’s grotty!’ Alun Owen made that up; I didn’t. People have used that word for years now. It was a new expression: grotty — grotesque.“ - The Beatles Anthology (x)
