I Don't Spend A Lot Of Time

Often In America People Would Assume That [as An English Actor] You've Had Some Sort Of Deep, Classical Training, Or That You're A Shakespeare Enthusiast. I Have Zero Interest In Me Performing Shakespeare.

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 Never Mind Doing Press; It's Never Bothered Me.

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

I Know Really, Really Famous People Who Are Terrified Every Time They Walk On To A Stage.
