I do love perusing the dictionary to find how many words I don't use - words that have specific, sharp, focused meaning. I also love the sound of certain words. I love the sound of the word pom-pom. Geoffrey Rush
Geoffrey Rush quote: "I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen..."
I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen life. Geoffrey Rush

Geoffrey Rush quote: "You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I'm a traitor to my..."
You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I'm a traitor to my country because I don't have a sporting bone in my body. Geoffrey Rush

I often thought I was in the wrong business. I was pretty seriously thinking of tossing it in before I shot Shine. I do not know why. I was pretty restless, I had been through a bad period of stress induced anxiety - panic attacks - and I was not sure of what I wanted to do. Geoffrey Rush
Geoffrey Rush quote: "My eye muscles hurt now when I read our MasterCard bill."
My eye muscles hurt now when I read our MasterCard bill. Geoffrey Rush
I asked, 'What is this guy?' They said, he's part-fish, part-bird, maybe a bit of lizard, and you don't have to go through five hours of makeup to play him. That was good enough for me. Geoffrey Rush
I was never a leading man. I've always been in the outer concentric circles in the company, being a character actor, which is a good place to be. It gives you that diversity. Geoffrey Rush
When people come to me and tell me I was terrific in this or that, I do not want to fall flat on my face the next time. But, tough, I have fallen flat before. You just get up and dust yourself off. Geoffrey Rush
Most films I've worked on have had large casts, but they've been wonderful people. I think the monkey in Pirates of the Caribbean is the most temperamental costar I've had. It would throw tantrums like you wouldn't believe. Geoffrey Rush
