"I wonder if anyone will ever know about the emptiness of my life. Or wonder about me and ask themselves what manner of man I was. How to ever tell them, how to ever explain. How to say I never found love, how to say it was all my fault. Who can say where it all goes wrong?"

- Kenneth Williams

"... And the way that Shelley puts it, 'We are a portion of everything we've ever loved.' And I think it is those loves that form the tissue if you like of belief and faith. Because acting is all about faith. Performing is making an act of faith, believing you can create reciprocity between the auditorium and the stage.

And that's why when the atheist says 'what if life's pointless, what if it's all a joke?' It has to be answered by the comedian, 'well, if it is a joke, let's make it a good one.'"

- Kenneth Williams

"Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

- William Shakespeare
