Paul Schofield said something like, 'If I'm not acting in a play, I don't really exist.' Those weren't the exact words, but he meant it's only when I'm acting in a play that I've got something to say about the world. And then why should I talk, when people can come to see it?

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

I promise myself that I would go and do a play every year.

I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
