The Way An Actor Is Trained Doesn't

I Grew Up Looking At... Going To The Movies A Lot, As Much As They'd Let You. I Grew Up In Manchester In The North Of England In The '40s And '50s. I Saw A Lot Of Movies. They Were All Hollywood And British Movies. I Didn't See A Film That Wasn't In English Until I Was 17 When I Went To London To Be A Student.

There's A Constant Drip And Trickle Of Life That Goes Into One's Awareness Really And Consciousness Of Things.

I Really Think People Are Greatly Stimulated And Enriched By Experiencing In Film Just As We Can From Novels And Other Art, Experiencing Things That Resonate With What Our Lives Are About. I Think People Really Want To Know... Want To Share, Want To Have The Stimulus To Think And Care About The Way They Live Their Lives, The Way They Relate To Other People, Their Aspirations, Their Hopes, Et Cetera.

It's An Unhealthy Habit To Say That Life Is What You Make Of It, And If You Want To Be Happy, Then You Can Be Happy. That's Just Rubbish, Basically.

Given The Choice Of Hollywood Or Poking Steel Pins In My Eyes, I'd Prefer Steel Pins.
