I Do Tend To Divide My Childhood

I Feel Like I'm The Luckiest Man On The Planet.

I Have A Reputation For Being An Improvisational Actor, Which Is True, But I Also Know What I'm Doing So That If The Improvisational Strand Doesn't Work I Can Go Back To What I Know's Already There.

I Do Tend To Divide My Childhood Into Darkness And Light, And The First Seven Years Were Certainly The Darkness.

In The Late '70s, Maybe Just Before I Started, There Was Still An Attitude That If You Did Film You Didn't Do Tv And Vice Versa, But That's Gone Now.

For Me, It's A Voyage Of Self-discovery. I'm Able To Go On A Set And To Explore Situations, Personalities, People And Characters That Are Close To Me, Or Maybe Not. Through Going There And Experiencing These Different People And Their Situations, It Helps Me To Get Oriented And Develop As A Human Being. So, Acting Is Fundamental To Who I Am.
