Richard O'Brien in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Quotes

Richard O'Brien

  • When you do something like Rocky, which is undefinable somehow, it always becomes difficult to lose that. Not that I have any interest in saying goodbye to Rocky. I absolutely adore being involved and a part of something that is really a phenomenon. And I have no problems with that at all. If it overshadows anything else, I can understand completely why and again it doesn't worry me.
  • The success of the repeated showings of Rocky Horror has helped me in useful ways. Mind you, I'm not a billionaire or anything like that. It hasn't made me a terribly wealthy person. It's just offered me more choices.
  • There is a fine line between exotic and pathetic.
  • [on how he was always very skinny and didn't fill out like other boys did] When I turned 40, you see, and I'm still kind of like Mr. Slim, snake hips, and all my peer group are now starting to pack it on a little, they go "How do you do it?" and I say "My turn, fatty."
