You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all my life?

In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.

How you prepare for a role is entirely your business in my point of view. There is little enough mystery anymore left in the world in the part of our profession, which should be clouded in mystery because it isn't in the public. You don't want the magician to show his tricks or how he did them do you? So I do think that is a very private thing that we actors should protect ourselves from.

Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.

I just can't tell you what fun I've had being a member of the world's second oldest profession.

Try and stay sober. Until the curtain call. And for God's sake, have fun. Don't suffer for your art. Just have fun.

I just do what I want to do, and if it's a rather interesting script - which I found.
