I Love Working, I'd Be Dead If I Hadn't Found Myself As An Actor I Didn't Have To Be Successful.

Tom [courtenay] And Albert Finney Met Ron Harwood On The Dresser, So That's How It Started. It's A Wonderful Documentary. It's Called Tosca's Kiss And Mr Hardwood Told Me About It When I Asked Him What The Genesis Was. It Was Made In 1983 And Verdi, Who Was Rich And Successful, Toward The End Of His Life Decided To Build A Mansion For Himself In Milan, Where He Lived, And He Stipulated That When He Died Opera Singers And Musicians - Because He Knew So Many Who Were No Longer Playing At The Scala And Some Were Poor - Could Live There.

And I Contend That When You See A Movie With Bad Acting, Don't Blame The Actor... Blame Those Guys In The Cutting Room Because They Like That Take.
