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.

People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.

Quality is subjective. There are quality blockbusters; there are quality versions of every genre and it doesn't necessarily mean money.

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.

Ive always believed very, very strongly that the way you treat people is more important than anything, professionally or otherwise.

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