I become quite inhibited particularly when I do comedy, I won't - there's a whole thing of allowing an audience in and if you - if you cover yourself with a mask of, kind of, severity, which I'm quite good at doing, that's masking fear of course, then people feel shut out.

Quite often I play roles that require quite a degree of emotional exposure, and they can be very difficult to do.

I've worked for more than 50 years on the stage and I have played great, great, great roles, but I haven't played a great Shakespearean role because they're all male. I'm actually very proud of it.

In some roles you do get into a mode of terror. It's always very frightening - the first audiences are frightening.

I have got a reputation to protect.
