So the better my partner or my opposition, however you like to think about it, the better my game.

An acting assistant stage manager in a theater in Canterbury, a rep theater. A small wage but just enough to get by on, and I made props, and I walked on, and I changed scenery, and I realized that I just loved it.

It's just money; it's made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat.

Mine is an actor's voice, not a singer's voice, but the part was written for an actor (Richard Burton), not a singer.

The work I prefer to do are the smaller budget pictures, television can be great but it ties you up for quite a long time.

I envy children who know that they're going to become doctors, know they're going to go into the forces or whatever. I think choice is one of the hardest things, but that's what I try to give my children, to say you can do anything.

It's always useful to be in big movies for one's career.
