I Just Hate The Idea

I Am A Theatre Actor, But The Last Ten Years I've Taken Parts In Movies Because It Keeps Me In Money.

I Belong To Quite A Lot Of Learned Societies. We Collect Firearms And Discuss Them At Dinners And Clubs And Things.

For An Actor To Remain A Child Is Rather Important. It's A Childlike, Dreamy Thing, Acting, If You Think About It. It's The Sort Of Thing Children Fantasise About, Playing Cowboys And Indians In The Street. I Think That Acting Is Just A Highly Refined Development Of That.

You Get Used To Being Lazy Doing Films, But Classical Theatre's Going To Finish Me Off.

I'm An Anorak. I've Always Been An Obsessive Collector Of Things. Richard Briers Collects Stamps. I Collect Cars And Guns, Which Are Much More Expensive, And Much More Difficult To Store.
