I've certainly said I don't want to do any more bad guys, then I sit and don't do anything for a while and then think, "Okay, one more."

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son's perspective.

I think the only thing I've got going for me as an actor specifically is the fact that I can change.

I do as much comedy as I possibly can but I'm basically limited by the imagination of the secretaries who make the decisions.

People talk about me in Arcadia and I think I was okay in it but Ive given better performances in other productions that didnt have the same impact. But I knew Arcadia was going to be an event and I wanted to be part of it.

I'm not fussy about the medium I work in. I'll do television radio, you know. I have to, because that's the only way I can do continually good roles.

If I was to say "I'll only do movies," then I'd struggle to find a varied career. My priority is an interesting career, that's why I keep a low rent, I don't go on big holidays, and I keep it very simple.
