When You Have A Family, Or Even

The Degree Of Notoriety I Have Is Fine And Easy. There's Nothing Hysterical About It.

Somebody Asked Me Recently, 'have You Done A Lot Of Plays?' I Thought Hang On. I Used To Do Nothing But Plays. I've Been Very Fortunate That On Several Occasions I've Had Jobs Where I Didn't Want To Be Anywhere Else In The World Whatever You Had To Offer - However Much Money You've Got.

I Did Actually Sit Down With A Blank Sheet Of Paper Once. I Think The Phone Rang And That Was The End Of My Literary Career.

More People Saw Me In 'love Actually' Than Had Seen Me In Everything Else I Had Ever Done Up To That Point.

I Quoted David Hare One Of His Lines The Other Day To Illuminate Whatever Point We Were Trying To Make In The Conversation, And I Said 'what Play Was That?' And He Said 'it Was Your Line, You Said It About A Hundred And Fifty Times In The Vertical Hour.'
