When you're young, you're very insecure. And if I could learn, if I could revisit my own past I could say to myself, don't think too much, just get on and do it.

If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go, you'll find you've gone.

Richard Burton came from the same town as me, so I thought I'd follow my nose, and follow my luck. I think I've been very lucky.

I just learn my lines, go on set. Do my preparation, whatever that is. Have a cup of coffee. Say hello to everyone. And be friendly. "Action" - and then do it.

You look closely enough, you'll find that everything has a weak spot where it can break, sooner or later.

Multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

I couldn't say I ever dreamt of becoming a composer, a pianist, or anything else for that matter. I have the kind of brain where nothing is set in stone.
