I don't think that Richard is the kind of guy who would've wanted us to mourn him for ages. I think he'd have just wanted us to be happy and remember him for all the times he made us smile and made us laugh.	Daniel Radcliff im Boston Herald, May 30, 2004

I'm not interested in reputation or immortality or things like that...I don't care what I'm remembered for. I don't care if I'm remembered. I don't care if I'm not remembered. I don't care why I'm remembered. I genuinely don't care.	Richard Harris
