I Would Like To Make It Known,

I Don't Want To Be Like The Actor Who Rehearses Everything In The Bathroom, Then Comes To The Set And Carries On Completely Uninterrupted While The Other Actors Tiptoe Away. I'm So Dependent On Reacting To The Other Actors On The Set, And To The Director. I'm Very Responsive. I React. And I Treasure The Energy That Reaction Gives. I Feed Off That And Work Off That. I Don't Like To Be Too Prepared, No. However We Define Too Prepared, If I Feel It's Getting That Way, Then I'll Back Off. My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.

The Many Many Imponderables Come Together When A Film Opens And For All Sorts Of Reasons It May Or May Not Succeed.

There Are Some Directors, Lesser In Confidence Or Skill, Who Make The Actor Feel Very Uncomfortable Because You Feel You're Auditioning For Them, Every Day, And That's A Terrible Feeling On The Set.

All The Great Writers Root Their Characters In True Human Behaviour.

I Would Like To Make It Known, On This Program, Loud And Clear, That I Would Absolutely Embrace With All Five Of My Arms Being A Bond Villain.
