As I say, there's something that scares the hell out of me but it really makes me work hard in losing myself. I'm not really interested in me as an actor or being a personality player, or a Hollywood star. What's given to me is to become different people and to find the truth of that. That is really what I do.

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.

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'm really into my photography and am trying to catch up with digital generation - I was used to the old 35mm cameras.

Deep inside, I am desperate to do comedy.

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.
