My reaction to 3D is subtly. Things don't come out at you, but rather you - The audience come into the film.

When we'd suggested doing it, the Theatre Royal management had said, 'Nobody wants to see Waiting for Godot.' As it happened, every single ticket was booked for every single performance, and this confirmation that our judgment was right was sweet. Audiences came to us from all over the world. It was amazing.

Acting is no longer about lying. It's now about revealing the truth. People are at ease with me now. Honesty is the best policy.

When you're on stage with an audience, the director's nowhere to be seen. He's onto the next job.

If I was on a march at the moment I would be saying to everyone: Be honest with each other. Admit there are limitless possibilities in relationships, and love as many people as you can in whatever way you want, and get rid of your inhibitions, and we'll all be happy.

I think I'm a bit gruffer than I used to be, and I'm certainly older.

Macbeth is a very popular play with audiences. If you want to sell out a theater, just mount a production of Macbeth. It's a short play, it's an exciting play, it's easy to understand, and it attracts great acting.
