It's A Real Skill To Be Able

I Don't Feel Like A Romantic Lead; I Guess I Feel More Like A Character Actor.

I Wouldn't Want To Leave It So Long Before Doing A Play Again, I Get Very Stolid And Sluggish If I Do Too Much Telly.

You'd Never Play Hamlet If You Started Worrying About Who's Played It Before You.

I Did Four Or Five Years In Telly, And By The End Of It Was Drained. I Was A Bit Sick Of Myself. I Didn't Feel Like An Actor Anymore. That Sounds Silly, But When You're Doing A Play You're Using Different Muscles, And It Blew All The Cobwebs Away.

It Must Be Odd, Being Recognisable. I Would Hate To Lose That Anonymity. It Happened For A While With 'spooks.' No One Notices Me Now.
