I've mellowed quite quickly.

The standard of writing that I'm getting now from 'Big Finish' compares very favourably with some of the stuff I was doing on screen in the '80s.

Nobody can fail to lose weight in the jungle, unless they've got a secret stash of pork pies somewhere.

I am a big man, but I've allowed my condition to deteriorate by being overweight.

As any actor will tell you, the hardest thing to do is small parts, because you focus all your attention and concentration on that small part. When you're playing the lead part, you don't have time to think about the whole of it, so you just have to steam on and get on with it.

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

I do adore food. If I have any vice it's eating. If I was told I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I could put up with sausage and mash forever.
