To be creative you must create a space for yourself where you can be undisturbed... separate from everyday concerns.

Some actors, I think, want to feel that they are as creative as the writer. And the answer is, frankly, they're not.

There are 3 basic differences between we British and you Americans. One, we speak English, and you don't. Two, when we have a "World Championship", we invite teams from other nations. Three, when you meet the British head of State, you only have to get down on one knee.

When you get to my age, and I'm 66 now, you realize that the world is a madhouse and that most people are operating in fantasy anyway. So once you realise that, it doesn't bother you much.

The most creative people have this childlike facility to play.
