When I Do A Play, It's Like

I Admire David Hare As Much As I Admire Certainly Any Writer Ever. What I Like About His Writing Is It Is Very Conscientiously, In One Way, An Attempt To Reproduce The Way People Actually Speak, But It's Not Just An Attempt At Naturalism. It's Stylised And It's Heightened, To Great Effect. It's Elegant And It's Funny And That's The Way To My Heart, Frankly.

I Never Go On The Net Or The Web, Or Whatever It's Called.

All Actors Who Have Been Around For A Long Time, Which I Have, And Have Been Skint For Long Periods, Which I Have, Find It Difficult To Turn Down Jobs. If I Turn Anything Down My Stomach Turns Over. I Feel Sick. It Feels Like Gambling.

It's More Than Usually Possible That I Won't Do A Play Again. But Skylight Is One Of The Great Plays In The English Language. I Was Lucky Enough To Be A Part Of It At One Point In Its Life, And It's A Timely Thing To Deliver It Again In The Modern World.

One Of The Things That Is Assumed About Actors Is That They Are Extrovert, Which Is Almost Never The Case, In My Experience.
