When It Seems That Someone

The Fact Is That In England So Many Of Our Politicians Are Career Politicians - They've Always Been Politicians Since They Left Their Education. And In The Old Days Of Course Politicians Used To Be Fish Mongers Or Doctors Or Whatever. They'd Lived Life. These Days, Power Seems To Go To The Hands Of People That That's All They've Done. And I'm Not Sure That's A Good Thing, Because It Does Remove Them From The Realities Of Life.

I Succeeded On Sort Of Chutzpah And Charm. No Technique At All, Didn't Know What I Was Doing, But It Worked And The Character Suited Me.

I've Always Thought Of Characters Like Advent Calendars. You Have Christmas And You Have All The Little Doors Over The Windows And Every Day You're Allowed To Open One More As It Gets Towards Christmas And You See More And More About What's Inside That House.i Remember As A Kid Being Fascinated By That And I've Always Thought Of My Character As A Little Bit Like That. I Like To Have Secrets And Slowly Let Those Secrets Out To The Audience, Sometimes Never Let Them Out, But Let Them See As You Open The Shutters, Open And See A Little Bit More Of A Character.

The Great Thing About Acting Is, Because You're Constantly Playing Other Characters And Exploring Yourself Because You Have To Find Those Other Characters In Yourself, You Sort Of Broaden As A Person Over Your Life Because You've Been Other People. So You Can Empathize With Many Different Sorts Of People. It's Great In That Way And I Hope, Therefore, As You Get Older As An Actor, You Not Only Get More Interesting Because You Lived More, But You Get A Bit Wiser As A Person.

I Liked The Theater. I Liked The People. I Liked The Time That We Worked.
