• Quotes

  "You meet a better class of people in pubs."IMDb: Oliver Reed Biography

  "I believe that my woman shouldn't work outside the home. When I come home and I'm tired from filming all day, I expect her to be there and make sure that everything is cool for me. You know, like drawing my bath and helping me into bed. That's the kind of job she had and, in return for it, she can bear my children and if any man talks bad to her, I'll hit him."IMDb: Oliver Reed Biography

  I'm not a villain. I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and again."IMDb: Oliver Reed Biography
