When I left school, I wanted to be an artist, specifically a painter.

I grew up in the 1950s at the beginning of rock n' roll, and would strum a tennis racket in front of the mirror.

The key to a great story is not who, or what, or when, but why.

Oddly enough, I'm not religious but I'm also very fond of St Peter's in Rome. When I'm there, I always know there's a good meal not far away.

I'll read a book every now and then, but unlike most of my friends I don't always have one on the go.

I'm not a star, I'm an actor - there's a difference!

The older you get, the more you find yourself looking for things you used to see and liked when you were younger.
