It's more than usually possible that I won't do a play again. But Skylight is one of the great plays in the English language. I was lucky enough to be a part of it at one point in its life, and it's a timely thing to deliver it again in the modern world.

I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.

In life, if you have an enthusiasm for what they call 'good manners,' sometimes people don't quite believe you. I've had that once or twice before, where they assume you can't be for real.

I don't spend a lot of time with anybody.

One is that you legislate according to natural selection, the other is that you don't. You have compassion, you try and help people. It's a fundamental clash between two people who happen to love each other, which complicates everything.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.

If I'm going to appear in front of people I like to look my best.
