The old guys like me started in the theatre. I was in the theatre for nine years.

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.

I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point.

I learn the whole time. I think it would be dull if I thought I was going to work and wouldn't find something new. We always learn.

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

In real life, I'm afraid of heights - and people who get moral convictions... Adolf Hitler in London.

The trouble with women? Elbows.
