One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions.

What the nation's built on is discussion, contradiction and growth, and at the moment you can't discuss anything. If you do start to discuss it, you get criticized. If people hate us, you have to find out why and try to solve that problem.

I had a kind of meandering little career, and then I was given a chance to play one of the bottom six in The Dirty Dozen.

Well, I was always cast as an artistic homicidal maniac. But at least I was artistic!

I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working.

No, I'm not rich. I had a tax problem in this country, curiously enough, and my accountant said the British government was patently wrong in taxing me, and they were, but we couldn't persuade them and it cost me everything I had.

I would look a little silly playing Casanova now.
