When I Was A Young

Years Ago I Met Richard Burton In Port Talbot, My Home Town, And Afterwards He Passed In His Car With His Wife, And I Thought, 'i Want To Get Out And Become Like Him'. Not Because Of Wales, Because I Love Wales, But Because I Was So Limited As A Child At School And So Bereft And Lonely, And I Thought Becoming An Actor Would Do That.

I Came Here In 1974 To Do A Play, And Then I Went To L.a. I Really Like Living In America. I Feel More At Home Here Than Anywhere Else.

I Look In The Mirror And I See The Lines, But I Don't Care. It's A Good Time. I Don't Know Why It's Such A Good Time, But It's A Good Time.

I Don't Push My Luck. I Don't Worry About The Results And Therefore Everything Seems To Work Out Well. That's Something I've Learnt Over The Years. The Whole Thing About The Acting Business Is That It's A Hit-or-miss Game So I Keep My Distance From It.

When You're Younger You Have So Many Ideas About Yourself; Everything Is Important. It's Not When You Look Back, Nothing Is That Important. It's Only Life.
