When I Do A Play, It's Like

When I Do A Play, It's Like Agreeing To Be Ill For A Couple Of Months.

I Think In The Old Days, Everybody Used To Act Really Quickly Because Hollywood Was Built By Theatre People.

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 My Great Regrets, And I Don't Have Many, Is That I Spent Too Long Putting People's Status And Reputation Ahead Of Their More Important Qualities. I Learned Far Too Late In Life That A Long List Of Letters After Someone's Name Is No Guarantee Of Compassion, Kindness, Humour, All The Far More Relevant Stuff.

From My Point Of View, It's Very Refreshing To Play A Regular Human Being And Not Someone From Another Dimension. When I Say "not Act," What I Mean Is Just To Be As Natural And As Normal As Possible.
