I'm an anorak. I've always been an obsessive collector of things. Richard Briers collects stamps. I collect cars and guns, which are much more expensive, and much more difficult to store.

Television has dried up for my generation, so its plays and films.

Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.

I just hate the idea of being well known. I know that is almost impossible if you're an actor who has done okay, but I've always fought against it.

Yeah, I like causing trouble. It's the teddy boy in me. I used to be a teddy boy. Feeling slightly inferior and wanting to cause a bit of bother and get some action going on in the room rather than get bored stiff.

I'm very flower-like. I love classical music. I go to ballet and I cry. There's nothing so beautiful.
