Stephen Rea's Quotes
- I didn't want to be seen as just a guy on a list. I'm interested in good scripts, scripts that are about something, scripts that move your acting along.
- [When asked why he would have a "special thanks" credit on the Ozzy Osbourne album "Diary of a Madman"] It isn't me, man. There's a travel agent in Belfast named "Stephen Rea", and I found that out because people kept asking me that question over and over. There's also a set designer named "Stephen Rea", but that's not me either!
- [Describing his 2007 movie Stuck (2007)] "Stuck" is about a desperate man who is apparently getting weaker, but is actually becoming stronger. He starts the film in a passive state of mind and retreats from all the things the world throws at him, but then because of this catastrophe, he actually becomes a tougher, more determined and focused character.
