Notable quotes

“I love to work. I passionately love to work. I love to feel my hand fit into the glove of some other character. I find a huge freedom — time stops for me. I’m not as crazy as I used to be, but I’m still a little crazy.”
— Interview on the film Without Limits, on Charlie Rose (10 September 1998) [@12:08]
“[Asked if he was conscious of being an unusual actor] Well, I was always cast as an artistic homicidal maniac. But at least I was artistic!”
— Referring to his early roles while living in the UK in the early to mid-1960s in an interview, cited in "Total recall: John Patterson meets Donald Sutherland", The Guardian (3 September 2005)
“We had a housekeeper in Canada, a wonderful woman, whose father raped all of his daughters. She went to see him when he was dying and said, "I'm here to forgive you." He said, "Forgiveness for what? It was my right."”
— From an interview, as cited in "Donald Sutherland: 'I want Hunger Games to stir up a revolution'", The Guardian (19 November 2013)
“I’m really hoping that in some movie I’m doing, I die — but I die, me, Donald — and they’re able to use my funeral and the coffin … That would be absolutely ideal. I would love that.”
— As quoted in "After bright career, Donald Sutherland finally nabs an Oscar" by Anthony McCartney (8 November 2017)
