It's A Joy To Be Up Close

Why Live Outside The Us? Do You Want Health Care Or Safe Food Products Or Democracy Or Something? They're All Overrated. Stay For The Excellent Cable Tv.

Quite Low Down In The List Is "how Much Am I Going To Be Paid?"... My Main Feeling About Money Is That I Don`t Want To Feel As Though I`m Being Taken Advantage Of... The Other Actors They Asked To Play Gandalf Wouldn`t Go To New Zealand On That Money For That Length Of Time. I Thought It Would Be A Bit Of An Adventure... I`m An Eccentric Actor, And There`s A Lot Of Us Around.

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.

What I Particularly Like About Broadway Is The Camaraderie And The Friendship Of Other People In Other Shows. Everybody Knows You're Opening And Cares About You. There's A Real Village Atmosphere.

It Is So Painful Watching Yourself Act, Particularly Because You Can't Do Anything About It, It's All Done And Dusted.
