It Can't Be Overstated How

You Get Older And You See Yourself And Say, 'god, He's Old, Who's That?'

When People Warned Me There Would Be Long Periods Out Of Work If I Became An Actor, I Couldn't Keep A Straight Face Because That Was Exactly What I Had In Mind.

I'm Just Aware Of What I'm Thinking And Feeling But I Do Obviously Have To Get That To The Back Of The Auditorium. So There Are Things Like Projection And Filling The Room, And Not Dropping The Ends Of Lines - Technical Things Which Are Important, But I Don't Think They Change The Way I Feel In A Scene.

Somebody Asked Me Recently, 'have You Done A Lot Of Plays?' I Thought Hang On. I Used To Do Nothing But Plays. I've Been Very Fortunate That On Several Occasions I've Had Jobs Where I Didn't Want To Be Anywhere Else In The World Whatever You Had To Offer - However Much Money You've Got.

It's More Than Usually Possible That I Won't Do A Play Again. But Skylight Is One Of The Great Plays In The English Language. I Was Lucky Enough To Be A Part Of It At One Point In Its Life, And It's A Timely Thing To Deliver It Again In The Modern World.
