Quotes by Richard Roxburgh
I have to say. I kind of love all that stuff – those physical challenges. I guess there will come a time when I’ll get sick of it but at this stage, I just like it all.
This is an area you always need to address when you’re dealing with Dracula is the fact that there is something kind of attractive in his darkness – which there isn’t in other horror characters.
I have absolutely no dance background at all. Nor a singing background. People, for some reason, think I can. And I don’t know why that is. I sort intoned in Moulin Rouge, through facial hair and buck-teeth, but I don’t really call it singing.
