RIP Michael Gambon (19.10.1940 - 28.9.2023)

"Paul Schofield said something like, 'If I'm not acting in a play, I don't really exist.' Those weren't the exact words, but he meant it's only when I'm acting in a play that I've got something to say about the world. And then why should I talk, when people can come to see it?"

"Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me."

RIP to the great Michael Gambon. The Singing Detective changed everything I thought I knew about storytelling, about memory, trauma, depression, and recovery.
