So, if I ever played Napoleon it would be with an Italian accent. He was an outsider, which also interests me.

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.

Although I'm a very emotional man, I just can't have blind faith, I have to find out for myself.

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

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 don't really want people to see me. I'm not into stardom.

In so many roles I've played the outsider. As an outsider, you have more energy to succeed simply because you are an outsider. There are scripts floating around but they're not coming my way and I think that I am getting a little bit too old to play Napoleon. But if I was ever offered the role I would grab it.
