More quotes by Patrick McGoohan

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

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.
