I'm Relaxed Naked As Long

Actors Always Talk About Taking Their Work Home And I Always Think: 'what Are You On? You Just Turn It Off. You Are At Work And Then You Go Home.'

All Actors Who Have Been Around For A Long Time, Which I Have, And Have Been Skint For Long Periods, Which I Have, Find It Difficult To Turn Down Jobs. If I Turn Anything Down My Stomach Turns Over. I Feel Sick. It Feels Like Gambling.

I'm Not A World War Ii Buff. I Know A Little Bit About It, I Was Taught The Other Side Of The Story In School, So It Was Unfamiliar To Me, The Idea Of A German Resistance, And Yet It Was Considerable.

If You Are Supposed To Be Villainous And Have Some Sort Of Agenda, I Like The Idea Of Delivering That Kind Of Character In A Perfectly Well-mannered Way.

One Of My Great Regrets, And I Don't Have Many, Is That I Spent Too Long Putting People's Status And Reputation Ahead Of Their More Important Qualities. I Learned Far Too Late In Life That A Long List Of Letters After Someone's Name Is No Guarantee Of Compassion, Kindness, Humour, All The Far More Relevant Stuff.
