Richard Griffiths on self-evaluating one’s looks and one’s brains

    Silly, isn’t it, how most people put themselves low on the scale of looks, high on the scale of brains? About trying to avoid being photographed, actor Richard Griffiths says:

    'It's a vanity thing. I'm vain enough not to want to appear in stills.' He quotes an old Jewish proverb: everybody hates the way they look, but no one complains about their brains. 'And that's true. I've always hated the way I looked, and I've never complained about my brains.'
