I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.

It's peaceful for people to know how their lives are going to be, pretty much.

In London, I take the Tube everywhere.

I have a terrible sense of direction.

I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.

At the beginning of a long-running play, everyone's nervous and paces around in a panic and reapplies lipstick. After a while, you'll get long-running card games or word games like Boggle.

I've got my private life - that's sacred - and I didn't have that before.
