Timothy's grandmother worked in English music halls with a very young Charlie Chaplin. (edit) Timothy studied at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) between 1964 and 1966. Just before completing his two years, he quit and joined the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. (edit) Both of Timothy's grandfathers were vaudevillian performers. (edit) Timothy's father moved the family to Manchester in the late 1940s where he worked in advertising and raised the growing Dalton family in an upper-class neighborhood outside of Belper, Derbyshire, just south of Manchester. (edit) Timothy made his major film debut in The Lion in Winter (1968). (edit)

Timothy: I like taking material I think impossible because that provokes an extreme effort of imagination and commitment. But I could never say which of my parts had most satisfied me or which was my favorite. Even my failures are my blood, my sweat, my care, my love, part of me, and I can't disown them. (edit) Timothy: (On vodka martinis) I don't think I've drunk one since I've left the Bond movies. Every bar you go in, there's always some wisecrack, 'Oh, yours will be a Martini, shaken, not stirred!' You get sick and tired of that. (edit) Timothy: (on his approach to the role of James Bond) It's very important to make the man believable so that you can stretch the fantasy. Whether people like this kind of Bond is another question. (edit) Timothy: (describing his feelings on whether or not in retrospect he made the right decision not to make the James Bond film GoldenEye) When I saw those posters of Pierce (Brosnan) standing there, I suddenly thought to myself...I don't have to stand there with a gun to the side of my head anymore! I suddenly found the most tremendous sense of liberation, and I started to feel more like myself than I'd felt in years! I suddenly felt free! (edit) Timothy: I felt as free as a bird! (describing driving down Sunset Boulevard and seeing a billboard that had Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan on it, but no Timothy Dalton.) (edit)
