I was a typical teen growing up in the 1960s, when everybody was into gurus and meditation.

I love music, especially classical like Verdi; it's a great way to relax.

I'm 64 years old, and I've been acting now for 42 years. Only recently have I thought to myself, 'Hmmm, it may be interesting to start directing.'

I became fascinated by the fact that people write to give away rather than write to be read. It's the difference between playwrights and novelists.

What we're doing is saying what happens with the establishment and how are we as ordinary human beings are used as pawns. What do we really know about what goes on! We think we are a democracy.... Are we? I'm not so sure.

I am very traditional as a man. I am not modern and never have been. I think I was born 50 years of age and out of my time.

I'm never bored, never ever bored. If I've got a day off I'll sit in a cafe and watch and observe. I'm a great observer.
