I Just Hate The Idea Of Being

I Belong To Quite A Lot Of Learned Societies. We Collect Firearms And Discuss Them At Dinners And Clubs And Things.

A Child Did Approach Me In A Restaurant In Cornwall, But He Thought I Was Gandalf.

There Are Some Actors Who Are Rehearsal Actors, And Some Who Are Not. I Am Not. Having Said That, I Don't Know What I Am Talking About.

I'm An Anorak. I've Always Been An Obsessive Collector Of Things. Richard Briers Collects Stamps. I Collect Cars And Guns, Which Are Much More Expensive, And Much More Difficult To Store.

For An Actor To Remain A Child Is Rather Important. It's A Childlike, Dreamy Thing, Acting, If You Think About It. It's The Sort Of Thing Children Fantasise About, Playing Cowboys And Indians In The Street. I Think That Acting Is Just A Highly Refined Development Of That.
