At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.
In England, I was a Cockney actor. In America, I was an actor.
I've always played very human sort of characters.
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
