Brian Thompson's Quotes

  • If you're very physical in stature, you're gonna get hired for action movies. The star's always going to be chasing someone so they need an equal adversary. I'm never going to play a nebbish geek. Whereas Linda Hamilton, as Sarah Connor, she was an equal adversary too, she had balls.
  • I think we're all in touch with our feminine side. I took a test in college to see what occupations I'd be most suited to and the counselor was very nervous when he told me I was not suited for any male occupations. I'm absolutely in touch with my feminine side - I'm way more sensitive than my girlfriend, I have to pull her emotions out of her!
  • [on making films in England] I filmed Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) at Leavesdon Studios and then we shot the miniseries Jason and the Argonauts (2000) at Shepperton Studios. I've had the pleasure of working here twice. I love England. For an actor to not like England? You guys have the best vowels in the world!What I love about being here is the abundance of privacy, and it's the only place in the world where I have respect for taxi drivers, and their unique opinions. Walking around, there's the history - walking on streets that are so historical, Roman roads. There's no separation between London and England, and the stories of my childhood - Charles Dickens... it's storybook to be here. And I love the flat vowels!
