Quotes
Bruce Robinson: [describing his old friend Vivian MacKerrell who was the main basis for Withnail] He had this pomposity of the thespian. He was a very smart guy, very bright, but he was sad too because he was a jack of all and master of none. He always used to say to me "If I wrote I'd write a fuck's sight better than you ever would" or "If I painted I'd paint a fuck's sight better than you ever would" or "If I was a photographer I'd be a better photographer than Bailey." But the fact is he never did anything, all he ever did was booze. And rant.

Bruce Robinson: The reason he's called Withnail is because when I was a little boy I knew this bloke called Jonathan Withnail - N-A-L-L. Cos I can't spell, I called him "nail". And he backed his Aston Martin into a police car coming out of a pub car park, and he was like the coolest guy I'd ever met in my life so consequently that name stayed in my head.

Ralph Brown: [after describing the film's story] It's a lesson to all filmmakers everywhere that you don't need a good plot.
