I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation. I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy.

The qualities I am looking for in Miss Right are intelligence and humour.

I took a gamble in becoming an actor and my dream job has been realised.

You get a lot of people requesting photographs but I tend to keep myself to myself, pull my cap down.

I'm going to be 50 soon. I'm single, I'm looking for something meaningful. By the time you've been single for quite a long time, you can get quite specific about what you can and can't put up with.

I left school at 16 but I wish I'd gone to university - I think I would have studied English literature. I had a knack for that. But I don't think you have the kind of wisdom at 16 to make that decision.

You cant be a casual observer of something humorous - you have to engage, you have to find it funny for the relationship between actor and audience to work.
