I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.

There just seems to be more acceptance now of other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones.

I like the idea of experimenting with different kinds of formats, and I think you've got to keep on your toes and keep changing.

I have a bad time between jobs because I'm always convinced I'll never work again. I think it may be an English thing, this fear of unemployment.

Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.

Now, people can watch the entire first series over a period that would probably take you a couple of nights.

I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman.
