You can't always go by the book, even in comedy.
Alan Bates

You've got to have steel in you somewhere.
Alan Bates

I think that can happen, that two people can love each other and not be able to get on at all.
Alan Bates

I've never believed much in that holding hands kind of love. I've always thought that love is about two different personalities trying to confront life, trying to make sense of their responsibilities, to themselves, to each other, and to the wider society.
Alan Bates

I have always tried to work according to what affects me, to a script that I like because it touches me in some way, without deliberately pursuing a commercial career or a particular image.
Alan Bates

Occasionally I do things against my inner voice, but you really should go for the thing that touches you most-even if you don't quite know why it does.
Alan Bates
