Tony Hancock

"[His eponymous role in Hancock's Half Hour wasn't] a character I put on and off like a coat. It's a part of me and a part of everybody I see."

"I wouldn't expect happiness. I don’t. I don’t think it is possible. But I'm very fortunate to be able to work in something that I like... The only happiness I could achieve would be to perfect the talent I have, however small it may be ... and if such a time came when I found that I had come to the end of what I could develop out of my own ability, limited however it may be, then I wouldn’t want to do it anymore."
