From Good Morning America, October 1981; interviewed by David Hartman.
George: “And… I decided to become a gardener, actually.”
Q: “You really love it, don’t you?”
George: “The garden?”
Q: “The gardening, yeah.”
George: “I — I do, yeah. I like the garden. It’s sort of, um… well, you know, like Chauncey Gardiner in the film with Peter Sellers, ‘Being There.’ It’s true, you know, you — in the garden, you see all the seasons come and go, and whatever you do can affect it all, but at the same time, the flowers don’t answer you back. (Laughs) Don’t give you no trouble.” - Good Morning America, October 1981
“From now on, she’ll know how much practicing and sheer will she’s got in her to say ‘I can do as well. I can be better. I’m the best.’ Only in this case can she become a success. Nobody told me that.” (Possession 1981, dir. Andrzej Zulawski)
“I’m obsessed with nature and animals and the earth; I find concrete things distract me. Most people are the opposite… they find squirrels or sparrows boring, whereas I find them fascinating. It has to do with the way we live. Anyone who cares about the Earth - really cares - must stop eating animals.”
Headcannon that James and Lily split up (on good terms ofc) and had shared custody of Harry, James got together with Regulus and Lily with Mary, life was great. Until Halloween. Regulus went to work that night and Lily and Mary thought it would be a good idea to visit James and Harry as it was Halloween. Peter comes with Voldemort and James Lily and Mary get killed trying to protect Harry. Regulus comes home from work later that night...
Regulus:*Walks up to the front door to see its wide open and starts to panick*
Regulus: Jamie..? Harry..?! JAMES HARRY WHERE ARE YOU?!
Regulus:*He rushes further into the house and that's when he see's him, the love of his life, lifeless on the stairs.*
Regulus: J-Jamie..? J-JAMES NO PLEASE OH MERLIN NO ANYTHING BUT THIS PLEASE!
Regulus sobbed and sobbed, holding his soul mates corpse in his arms tightly, he wasn't warm anymore, the sun wasn't warm.
After 30 minutes of sobbing Regulus hears crying from upstairs, that is the only thing that could have tore Regulus away from James in that moment, the desperate confused cries of Harry.
Regulus ran upstairs and eventually got to Harry's nursery, where there lay the dead body's of Lily and Mary, and the curled up baby Harry with a fresh scar plastered on his forehead. From that point on Regulus vowed he would never let anyone hurt Harry, for James, and for Lily.
Regulus raised Harry along side Harry's Uncle Moony and Uncle Pads.
