I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.

I've had such a great time, I'd like to come back as me - and do it all over again.

You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.

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?'

I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

I don't see myself as anything. I just wander around getting on with my life.
