When You Have A Family, Or Even

My Dad Had A Personal Style Which Was Very Attractive. It Was Quite Reserved And Quite Elegant, And It Was Infectious.

All Actors Who Have Been Around For A Long Time, Which I Have, And Have Been Skint For Long Periods, Which I Have, Find It Difficult To Turn Down Jobs. If I Turn Anything Down My Stomach Turns Over. I Feel Sick. It Feels Like Gambling.

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

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 Don't Seem To Be Able To Learn From Experience Or Anything Useful. History Doesn't Help Me. Precedents Don't Inform My Experience.
