Writers never get a very good deal in Hollywood.

I am 58 and it's difficult for people to gauge my age.

I've never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It's never been part of my psyche.

I do like to be creative and I'm very lucky that I've been given different areas in which I'm able to do that - whether it be film or television or theatre or whatever. I'm also still into music and recording.

I've never wanted to play bank managers and real people particularly.

There is always an audience for different individuals, but critics sometimes stop the audience finding the show and the show finding the audience.

There's something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what's lurking in them.
