- Contrary to popular belief, Peter Firth is of no relation to Colin Firth.
- Peter admits that he initially became interested in acting because he liked a girl who was a part of a local theatre group, and joined to impress her.
- Was nominated for Broadway's 1975 Tony Award as Best Actor (Dramatic) for "Equus," a role he recreated in an Oscar-nominated performance in the film version of the same title, Fliehende Pferde (1977).
- Considered for Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode IV - Eine neue Hoffnung (1977) (Source Empire Magazine).
- At the 50th Academy Awards ceremony in 1978, Firth was the only nominee in the Best Supporting Actor category that attended. Jason Robards, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Alec Guinness, and Maximilian Schell all declined to attend and some predictions were that Firth was considered the front runner. Robards ended up winning for "Julia", his second consecutive Oscar win.
- I feel I know Jenny [Agutter] as a best friend. That's what happens when you spend a long time naked together!
- I didn't really capitalise on that early success because I had high artistic ideals and they didn't involve commercial cinema. That said, becoming an international film star takes its toll - there's a price to be paid for being recognised all the time, so I'm quite happy not to be.
- When you've had an Academy Award nomination for the film Fliehende Pferde (1977), the work comes rolling in. So I had my chance to be a film star, but I resisted fame. I had peculiar high artistic ideals in those days. There is some regret about turning down Hollywood style-fame now, but only really financially.
- I stayed with the National company to do Spring Awakening and Romeo and Juliet but then I got the chance to play Equus on Broadway and took it. And somehow the National have never quite forgiven that. It's like leaving school early all over again. Somehow you no longer belong, and when you try to rejoin they make it very difficult.
- We get scripts, but they change on a daily basis - they evolve as we go along. (On Spooks - Im Visier des MI5 (2002))
