I'm someone who's done the opposite of whatever the received wisdom is, to keep your career going into your 50s.

My job now is to work hard and learn all I can.

There is nothing in my life where I view myself as a 1920s person.

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

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

My father was an academic, an eccentric. He was a lecturer.

I miss sometimes the buzz of America. A sense that anything can change at the drop of a hat. In a way, it's an exhausting thing to live with.
