John Lennon And Ringo Starr

I Never Went To Drama School. I Went Straight Into The Theater. We Had The Most Extraordinary Voice Teacher. I Worked With Her When I Was Starting Out In My Career. How To Place My Voice From A Very Relaxed Position Was All Wonderfully Reminiscent Of Going Back To The Basics. But I Always Like To Do That With Any Role That I Do, To Dismantle It And Put It All Back Together Again.

If One Is Going To Offer Children Stories That Underneath The Story Must Be Something That Will Inform, Stimulate And Guide, I Love To Be On Board. I Think Anything That Resonates With History, As Does The Jungle Book And Watership Down, Reflects Patterns Of Behavior, Power Struggles, Deprivation, Migration, Survival, Joy, Love, Betrayal, And All Of These Things. It's Tragic That Children Are Encouraged To Ignore History. We Ignore History And Any Literature That Is Historically Based In History. Even Though Both Of Those Films Involved Animals, Of Course They Reflect Human Behavior.

You Can Throw Away The Privilege Of Acting, But That Would Be Such A Shame. The Tribe Has Elected You To Tell Its Story. You Are The Shaman/healer, That's What The Storyteller Is, And I Think It's Important For Actors To Appreciate That. Too Often Actors Think It's All About Them, When In Reality It's All About The Audience Being Able To Recognize Themselves In You. The More You Pull Away From The Public, The Less Power You Have On Screen.

I'm Open To Any Project, But My Joyful Projects Are Those Through Which I Can Say Something And Through Which I Can Speak To The An Audience Of People In The World, And I Can Be That Vehicle Through Which Something Can Be Said, I Find That Entirely Thrilling And Joyful.
