I Know How To Be

If You Do Things, Whether It's Acting Or Music Or Painting, Do It Without Fear - That's My Philosophy. Because Nobody Can Arrest You And Put You In Jail If You Paint Badly, So There's Nothing To Lose.

I Found A Way Into The Acting Business Because I Thought, Well, It Beats Working For A Living, And So That's What I Do. But I Still Feel Like A Bit Of A Stranger In It All. I've Never Really Belonged Anywhere.

I Don't Want To Be Anything Else Other Than What I Am. I Can Say That With Passion. No Regrets.

I Like The Good Life Too Much, I'm Not Good At Going On Stage Night After Night And On Wet Wednesday Afternoons.

I Do The Best I Can - I Know My Way Around [russian Method Acting Pioneer] Stanislavski, But I Can't Take Myself Seriously Like That. I Respect People Who Do It, Of Course. I Just Think I'm Lucky To Still Be Working At 73. You Reach A Point In Life Where You Just Think, "show Up, Do Your Job, Make Sure The Cheque's On The Way," And That's It. I'm Not Hungry To Do Anything More, Really.
