You Can't Get Blase About Something You

I Just Try To Play More And More Difficult Roles.

The American Cinema In General Always Made Stories About Working-class People; The British Rarely Did. Any Person With My Working-class Background Would Be A Villain Or A Comic Cipher, Usually Badly Played, And With A Rotten Accent. There Weren't A Lot Of Guys In England For Me To Look Up To.

Since I Was 19, I've Had The Most Fun Possible Every Single Day, Even When I Had A Rough Life. It Was The Army Which Taught Me About Life, And The Theater Which Taught Me How Good It Could Be.

I Regard Myself As Someone Who Is Retired But Who Occasionally Goes Out To Work. In Fact, I'm Offered So Much Good Stuff That It's Not So Occasional.

Anyone Can Write. But Comedy, You've Got To Do Some Writing. You Get One Comedy Script To Every 20 Dramas.
