Life’s too short to be working with divas.
It is difficult to go on the next night after you receive a sandbagging.
I’m one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.
I’ve never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It’s never been part of my psyche.
Yes, but I think the big thing for everyone is to wear what they want and what suits them.
I’ve never wanted to play bank managers and real people particularly.
To play a role where you get to reveal intellectual change is wonderful.
There’s something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what’s lurking in them.
The first movie I appeared in was Carry On Cowboy, though not as an actor. I was just riding horses.
I’m not driven by money and I’m not driven by career.
I would have loved to have been in The Stand. I would also loved to have been in The Mask.
That means more to me, truthfully, than commercial success. To be a loved human being is much more important to me then any of those other things.
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.
Even though we know freedom as an idea we’re not really as free as we think we are.
However, there’s three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other’s money. If you get all three together, that’s fine.
Writers never get a very good deal in Hollywood.
I do like to be creative and I’m very lucky that I’ve been given different areas in which I’m able to do that – whether it be film or television or theatre or whatever. I’m also still into music and recording.
I never wanted to be aligned to a mature group because they go off and become politicians and stuff.
I paid my dues at drama school and worked backstage in every Theatre in London.
I’m surrounded by it. I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I’m so grateful for every day that I’m on the planet and that continues to be so.
