Try And Understand What Part You Have

It's A Joy To Be Up Close To Derek Jacobi's Work. Alas, We Haven't Worked Very Much, Over The Years, Since We Were At University Together, But I Don't Think I've Missed Many Of His Great Shows And Performances.

If I Was On A March At The Moment I Would Be Saying To Everyone: Be Honest With Each Other. Admit There Are Limitless Possibilities In Relationships, And Love As Many People As You Can In Whatever Way You Want, And Get Rid Of Your Inhibitions, And We'll All Be Happy.

It Is Very, Very, Very Difficult For An American Actor Who Wants A Film Career To Be Open About His Sexuality. And Even More Difficult For A Woman If She's Lesbian. It`s Very Distressing To Me That That Should Be The Case. The Film Industry Is Very Old Fashioned In California.

I Can't Take On All The Worries Of The World, You Know. I Can Only Talk About Being Gay And Being An Actor. I'll Have To Leave Those Other Battles To Somebody Else.

Baz [luhrmann] Paid Me One Of The Greatest Compliments Ever. I Don't Know Him, Really, But When I First Met Him I Was Congratulating Him On Romeo + Juliet - Which I Think Is A Wonderful Adaptation - And He Said, "oh, Well We Couldn't Have Done It Without Your Richard Iii, Which Was An Inspiration!" I've Never Quite Checked Up On The Dates To See Whether Or If, In Fact, We Did Our Film Before He Did His.
