The village is a place that is trying to destroy the individual by every means possible; trying to break his spirit, so that he accepts that he is Number Six and will live there happily as Number Six for ever after. [...] And this is the one rebel that they can't break.

— Patrick McGoohan

More quotes by Patrick McGoohan

Mel [Gibson] will always be Mad Max, and me, I will always be a number.

When they did finally see it, there was a near-riot and I was going to be lynched. And I had to go into hiding in the mountains for two weeks, until things calmed down. That's really true!

Interviewed by Warner Troyer (1977)
