Nicholas Parsons Quotes
- [on his performance in Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric: Part One (1989)] I’m very flattered as I’ve always loved the show and it’s nice to be associated with something which is a cult, but to be in one of the best episodes of a cult show has been to me one of the most treasured memories.
- [on Kenneth Williams] I think his whole persona, even his sex life, was with his audience. The adrenaline would pump and more adrenaline pumped in his system than others and the thing is that when you pump a lot of adrenaline, you slowly come off that high, and I think Kenneth went back to his little sparse little bare flat, and it was very austere, and so as the adrenaline ran down, all that angst would come out and then he’d write all these terrible things about all the people he knew and was fond of. It was very sad in one sense and that was his life.
- [speaking in 2004] “Oh, we’re an ageist society all right. You can say what you like about the old. If you made similar remarks about race or disability it would be embarassing … I have three comedy shows and lots of after dinner speaking engagemants. I just think I’m so lucky to be working at my age.”
