He has been known to refer to it as “The Sound of Mucus,” or "S&M."

"It's just...It lingers," Plummer explians.
“這部電影只是……一直都很出名,”普盧默解釋道。
"Once you were given that Von Trapp image, then all the scripts came with the same kind of uptight son-of-a-bitches, and they were so dull and boring.
“一旦你有了馮·特拉普的形象,然后所有的劇本都帶著同樣的痞子形象,他們是如此乏味。
I couldn't wait to be a character actor!
我等不及要成為一個角色演員!
So boring, being a leading actor, God."

that meant a couple of decades of playing a lot of famous dead guys:
