I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'

I feel that I helped the working class by just saying there are no barriers, which I consider to be true.

I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.

To me, growing old is great. It's the very best thing - considering the alternative.

I spent my entire time reading books and going to the cinema, just to escape.

If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.

I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
