I can't tell you about acting. You can develop all the skills, voice, gesture, movement, you can develop by exercise and practice but finally fundamentally it's mining from yourself, from your own personality, from what you know. If you can't know it you can have a good guess by people you know or books you've read.

Acting has been described as farting about in disguise.

I will not be an ordinary man, because I have a right to be extraordinary.

I wouldn't mind being a lord.

Where do I begin? I loved working with Kate Hepburn, which was one of the highlights of my life; Working with Richard Burton in Beckett was another great joy.

The only thing I've ever been interested in teaching anyone in life is cricket.

It's my job, it's what I do, it's what I'm on earth to do and it's who I am.
