It's A Real Skill To

I Did Four Or Five Years In Telly, And By The End Of It Was Drained. I Was A Bit Sick Of Myself. I Didn't Feel Like An Actor Anymore. That Sounds Silly, But When You're Doing A Play You're Using Different Muscles, And It Blew All The Cobwebs Away.

The Security Comes, As An Actor, In Knowing That You're Not In Control. If You Try To Control Your Career, Or How People Perceive You, You'll Make Yourself Unhappy, Because Life Doesn't Work Like That. So Much Is Luck. It's Much Better To Let Yourself Off, To Think, 'there's Nothing I Can Do.'

I Would Hate Not To Do A Play Every Couple Of Years. I Think It's Not Me.

Actors Have To Remind People That They Can Do Different Things, Not Just The Same Style Of One Role.

You'd Never Play Hamlet If You Started Worrying About Who's Played It Before You.
