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

The first movie I appeared in was Carry On Cowboy, though not as an actor. I was just riding horses.

I paid my dues at drama school and worked backstage in every theatre in London.

However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine.

I have done every job in the Theatre apart from wardrobe. I was out of work more times than I was in it.

I'm not driven by money and I'm not driven by career.

I'm surrounded by it. I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I'm so grateful for every day that I'm on the planet and that continues to be so.
