Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.
The Companion of Honour I regarded as an award from the country for 50 years of work - which I thought was okay.
A classic is a work which persists as a background noise even when a present that is totally incompatible with it holds sway.
Fortunately and unfortunately, people don't see me as a character actor. They see me as a leading man or nothing, which makes it really hard to get work.
I should probably confess that I get bored easily, which explains my reluctance to work with formula, tropes, whatever.

Long historical books get written by women, but not contemporary experiments, which still seems to be a very male-dominated field.
The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
One of the significant things that's happened, which shouldn't be looked at as lightly as it might sound, is that women over 45, over 50, are now allowed to be sexy.
It's only very recently that women have succeeded in entering those professions which, as Muses, they typified for the Greeks.
There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible.
