- Wrote The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) in six months.
- When writing The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), he based the character Frank-N-Furter on Alice Cooper. In his original handwritten notes (published in the 1979 play book The Rocky Horror Scrapbook), he described Frank-N-Furter as an "Alice Cooper type Frankenstein." (The "Dr." was added for the film.)
- On November 25, 2004, a life-size bronze statue of Richard O'Brien in his Riff Raff space suit was unveiled in Hamilton, New Zealand, where O'Brien grew up after moving from England. Commissioned jointly by a local theatre group and the Hamilton City Council, the statue stands on the site of the old Embassy Cinema, where O'Brien once watched science-fiction double features.
- Still makes up songs on the spur of the moment, to entertain his friends.
- Took the last name O'Brien after his grandmother.
- When you do something like Rocky, which is undefinable somehow, it always becomes difficult to lose that. Not that I have any interest in saying goodbye to Rocky. I absolutely adore being involved and a part of something that is really a phenomenon. And I have no problems with that at all. If it overshadows anything else, I can understand completely why and again it doesn't worry me.
- The success of the repeated showings of Rocky Horror has helped me in useful ways. Mind you, I'm not a billionaire or anything like that. It hasn't made me a terribly wealthy person. It's just offered me more choices.
- There is a fine line between exotic and pathetic.
- [on how he was always very skinny and didn't fill out like other boys did] When I turned 40, you see, and I'm still kind of like Mr. Slim, snake hips, and all my peer group are now starting to pack it on a little, they go "How do you do it?" and I say "My turn, fatty."
