“My career has evolved at its own peculiar pace, American careers are supposed to have a much more singular direction than I've been able to… stomach. Really. In most careers you find something you do well and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package. My interests and obsessions have always been so wide-ranging that I keep popping my head out of different boxes as much as possible. That's far more interesting for me.”

—  Tim Curry
