Roger Lloyd-Pack quotes:

I don't get much sauciness, I'm too old for saucy now, but back in the day I think there were a few marriage proposals. And I do use the fact women approach me as a chance to chat them up. They never seem to mind too much.

Outside of London especially, I can't go anywhere without people buying me a drink. There are quite a lot of people who know me from The Vicar Of Dibley and are big Dibley fans, but they don't have things to shout at me from that show.

People who are seriously damaged by sudden fame and notoriety have, in my experience, very low esteem at the root of their being.

To walk out on a marriage and leave a child was painful.

I was never a juvenile lead or a romantic hero, and I didn't come into my own as an actor until I was 40.

I don't think of myself as old. Obviously I am - I have a free bus pass, I'm already a grandad, and my hip is giving me jip, so it's all telling me something I don't really want to hear.

My parents would have loved me to go to university - Oxbridge, particularly.

Of course, I've known people who have mental difficulties, so I know how fragile people's psyches are and how little it can take to overbalance somebody.

I don't really want to start my career again, and I don't like Hollywood. If it had happened to me when I was young, yes, I'd be there like a shot, but I wouldn't like to go there and hang out and go to auditions at my age.

People get starstruck when they meet me, it's quite funny.

The most starstruck I've been is when I met Sol Campbell when he was a Tottenham Hotspur player. I don't get starstruck by actors I work with, because you have some sort of relationship with them. Like, I worked with Tom Cruise [on Interview With The Vampire], so if I saw him again I'd speak to him as an actor. Although he might not be interested in talking to me...
