How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don't?

Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.

I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.

The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.

I'm not actually a big musical fan.

I would like to have children while I've still got the energy. But then I have the feeling that when I have children I'll stop performing in the same way, because you don't really need to perform if you have children.

The whole thing of weight, I guess it's because there is a wider fascination we all have with weight.
