I got married a bit late, I agree. In any other period of history I'd have been dead at that age and they'd have assumed I was gay. Like Michelangelo, or Leonardo da Vinci. But I was a late developer. I didn't go through puberty until I was 35.

I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.

What makes me mad is arrogance, pretension, putting on airs.

I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural to me. So I don't take it for granted... What I think is my natural ability - which is writing - I think I totally take that for granted.

If somebody says what they want or what they need it gives the person the chance to say yes or no, instead of suffering in silence or depravation or whatever it is.

I wouldn't say we were doing that. I think we probably stopped thinking. Though it took a while to stop thinking.

I'll instinctively know that I identify with a character.
