My First Professional Job Was Appearing In A Disastrous Theatre Production Of Oh, What A Lovely War In Leicester Rep, Shortly After Leaving Cambridge.

I Live In A Spanish-style Hillside Home In Los Angeles, California. I Paid $900,000 In 1995. It's Perhaps Worth About $3m Now. Thankfully, I Paid Off My Mortgage Before The Crash Because I Could See It Coming. I Worried That I Would Be Caught Having To Pay Off A Very High Mortgage For A House I Couldn't Sell.

I Used To Think I Was Like The Wicket- Keeper, Which Is Like The Catcher In Base- Ball, Y'know What I Mean? You Can Call The Play A Lot From Behind The Plate, Y'know What I Mean? You're Not Necessarily The Star, You're Not The One That Makes The Mark, But Usually In The End, You're Called Upon To Get A Run When It's Needed.

We Never Have That Thought! The Whole Object Is To Bite Off More Than You Can Chew. John [du Prez] Always Says, Eric Thinks Of Something Completely Insane And Insists We Go In That Direction. It's The Correct Way To Look At Things And The Correct Place To Start, I Think.
