I Love The Broadway Audiences, Who Relish

I Have Never Wanted To Be Typecast, One Of Those Actors Who Plays A Variation On A One-note Theme. So Just As I Enjoy Playing A Wide Variety Of Characters, From Good To Bad To Ugly To Cute - So I Have Enjoyed Of Late Working In Film And Television, As Well As In Theatres Of Various Sizes And Shapes.

It Was Wrongly Assumed That I Wished To Become Some Sort Of Leader Among Gay Activists, Whereas In Reality I Was Happier To Be A Foot Soldier.

You Would Be Surprised How Many Directors Don't Know What They Want. They Might Not Know What They Want Until They See It, They Might Know What They Want But No Idea How To Get It Out Of The Actor, Then You've Both Got A Problem.

I Think The Point To Be Understood Is That We're All Different. I've Never Been A Fan Of Theories Of Acting. I Didn't Go To Drama School, So I Was Never Put Through A Training That Was Limited By Someone Saying, 'this Is The Way You Should Act.'

I Was Brought Up In Industrial South Lancashire, Down The Cobbled Road From Where Ls Lowry (1887-1976) Lived And Painted.
