Actor Quote by Peter O'Toole

“I put steam on the table by being an actor. That is how I live. The longer I live, the more expensive it becomes. So I do my work. And I can't be immensely picky. How many beautiful scripts come in one's lifetime? I have had more than anybody, practically.” quote by Peter O'Toole — Download Open image
