As an actor, I'll play anything.

Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,"Easy" doesn't enter into grown-up life.

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.

In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn't know anyone unknown who didn't become famous.

My mum never understood how much I earned. When I told her I earned a million pounds a film, she said, 'How much is that?'

When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.

I can never be the hero now. You have to be young and all that stuff. I used to be the hero.
