Charles about This is your life

from : http://www.bigredbook.info/subjects_d_h.html

in an interview, in 2005

"In February 2001, Dance had the dubious honour of being spotlighted by the British version of This is Your Life. When asked about it, he lets out a long, suspicious "Yeeeeees?" Satisfied that there is no malicious intent behind the inquiry, merely curiosity to know whether the experience was flattering or, as often appears to be the case, an exercise in prolonged awkwardness, he lets loose."

It was one of the most sphincterclenching evenings of my life! Deeply embarrassing. It really was - and it was the last thing I wanted because actually, that night, I was in the middle of a run with (Eugene O'Neill's) Long Day's Journey Into Night on the West End with Jessica Lange. I was playing Tyrone and she was playing my wife."

So, after a night of emotional shredding on stage, I was going to go to a club and just have a drink and maybe some supper. Then this man with a big red book leaps out at me! And I'm wheeled down to the BBC and the thing was recorded there and then about bloody midnight!

"They were wheeling people out who were recounting things that happened donkey's years ago, which not only did I not remember, but I didn't remember them, either! People came out who I was at school with who I simply didn't recognise. It was really embarrassing. 'Who the f--k is that?' Terrible."

“The Guns of August,” based on the Barbara W. Tuchman book, traces the misunderstandings, missed opportunities and aristocratic follies of the summer of 1914, which led to the outbreak of the First World War.

Production will begin on “The Guns of August” in early 2015."

From an interview with Nikolaj Coster Waldau

...But I like Tywin as a character, mostly because Charles [Dance] is such a formidable presence. You kind of like him because he's so cold. He's the perfect royal, because everything is about the future. The present doesn't matter. It's all about the endgame. So I loved the scene where they're making the deal for Tyrion where Jaime realizes, "Oh, I just got played. This was my father's plan all along. He was willing to sacrifice my brother to get me to do what he wants." Wow. It's a fucked-up family, I'm sorry! [Laughs]
