There's Always A Concern As An Actor

As Much As I Long For A Sort Of Security And Consistency Sometimes, I Do Enjoy Sort Of Being Busted Around. I Really Don't Know What's Happening Sometimes Next Week, Let Alone This Year.

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 Recognizable. I Would Hate To Lose That Anonymity.

The Security Comes, As An Actor, In Knowing That You're Not In Control. If You Try To Control Your Career, Or How People Perceive You, You'll Make Yourself Unhappy, Because Life Doesn't Work Like That. So Much Is Luck. It's Much Better To Let Yourself Off, To Think, 'there's Nothing I Can Do.'

Apart From Earning An Awful Lot Of Money, Why Would You Go To Hollywood?
