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

If you really want to make a difference for the customer, so what you have got to do is to make sure the products that you're bringing down in price are ones that they are buying every day.

In comedy, it's very, very important to be able to open up so that people feel they're included.

I have got a reputation to protect.

What takes courage: no make - up. No make - up at all. Like The Matrix. I did the matrix and they had a rule all the characters in The Matrix, except the leads, of course, wore absolutely nothing on their face.

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.

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.
