I'm as poor as a church mouse, that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese.

I have always worried about things more than I should.

I can be reasonably funny and light-hearted when I'm in the company of good friends, but I'm not a jokesmith. I tend to be quite serious.

I mean I can do it when I'm very relaxed, and with good friends, then I think I can be amusing.

I suddenly think the job of acting is a difficult one. It's not as flip, irrelevant and shallow a calling as I thought it was in the Eighties.

I would never wish to say that I've finally waved goodbye to any character, it's just that the emphasis tends to shift.
