Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.

I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.

I suppose that anyone who does any kind of creative work some time in their life - especially as you grow into middle age! - you come to a time where you really question more and more frequently, whether you have anything else to offer. And at its worst, you feel utterly bereft of whatever creative force it takes to do that work.

I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.

It must be hard interviewing actors.

If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw and my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake... I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!

For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.
